Background/objectives
Catheter-based renal denervation for the treatment of drug-resistant hypertension has been intensively investigated in recent years. To date, only limited data have been published using multi-electrode radiofrequency ablation systems that can deliver lesions with a pre-determined pattern. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next generation EnligHTN™ renal denervation system. Six-month primary endpoint data are presented here.
Methods
We conducted this first-in-human, prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study in 39 patients (62% male, mean age 63 years, and mean baseline office blood pressure 174/93 mm Hg) with drug-resistant hypertension. The primary safety and efficacy objectives were to characterize, from baseline to 6 months post-procedure, the rate of serious procedural and device related adverse events, as adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee, and the reduction of office systolic blood pressure.
Results
Renal artery denervation, using the next generation EnligHTN multi-electrode system significantly reduced office blood pressure from baseline to 1, 3, and 6 months by − 19/7, − 26/9 and − 25/7 mm Hg, respectively (P ≤ 0.0005). No serious device or procedure related adverse events affecting the renal arteries or renal function occurred through.
Conclusions
Renal sympathetic denervation using the next generation EnligHTN renal denervation system resulted in safe, rapid, and significant mean office blood pressure reduction that was sustained through 6 months. Future studies will need to address the utility of this system against an appropriate placebo based comparator.
背景/目的近年来,以导管为基础的肾去神经支配治疗耐药高血压已被广泛研究。到目前为止,仅发表了有限的使用多电极射频消融系统的数据,该系统可以以预先确定的模式传递病变。本研究旨在评估下一代EnligHTN™肾去神经系统的安全性和有效性。这里给出了六个月的主要终点数据。方法:我们对39例耐药高血压患者(男性62%,平均年龄63岁,平均基线办公室血压174/93 mm Hg)进行了这项首次人体前瞻性、多中心、非随机研究。主要的安全性和有效性目标是从基线到手术后6个月,由独立临床事件委员会裁定的严重手术和器械相关不良事件的发生率,以及办公室收缩压的降低。结果采用新一代EnligHTN多电极系统进行肾动脉去神经治疗后,从基线到1、3和6个月,办公室血压分别显著降低- 19/7、- 26/9和- 25/7 mm Hg (P≤0.0005)。整个过程中未发生严重的影响肾动脉或肾功能的器械或手术相关不良事件。结论采用新一代EnligHTN肾去神经系统进行肾交感神经去神经治疗可安全、快速、显著地降低平均办公室血压,并持续6个月。未来的研究将需要解决该系统与适当的基于安慰剂的比较物的效用。

Background
IABP is routinely used to support coronary blood flow and systemic circulation in patients with cardiogenic shock. Our aim was to explore the incidence of vascular complications associated with the use of IABP in this scenario and their influence on mortality.
Methods
Therefor we analysed 204 consecutive patients between 2002 and 2013 treated with IAPB in cardiogenic shock for vascular complications and mortality within 30 days after implantation of IAPB. Primary endpoints were severe bleeding (TIMI-definition: intracranial bleeding, loss of haemoglobin (Hb) > 5 g/dl or haematocrit (PCV) > 15%), vascular complications with therapeutic consequence (venous thrombosis, arterial embolism) and stroke.
Results
80 (39%) patients died within 30 days after implantation of IABP. In 42 (21%) patients, vascular complications occurred: severe bleeding was present in 26 patients (62% of all complications), 13 (31%) patients suffered from venous thrombosis or arterial embolism and 3 (7%) patients from stroke. 25% of the patients who died had a vascular complication. The rate in patients who overcame cardiogenic shock was 17.7% (p = 0.22). Multivariate analyses showed treatment with Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa- inhibitors to be an independent risk factor for the occurrence of vascular complications (p = 0.04).
Conclusion
Vascular events with the use of IABP are common but in our study, not significantly associated with a higher mortality. Treatment with GP IIb/IIIa-antagonists is associated with a higher risk of vascular events.

Background/objectives
Binding sites are the principal cause of failed lead removal and complications, and are not directly visualized by fluoroscopy. We aimed to assess binding sites between permanent cardiac pacing leads and cardiovascular structures using CartoSound™ three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology (Biosense Webster Inc., Diamond Bar, CA) during transvenous lead extraction, and compared outcomes to standard approach.
Methods
We recruited 291 patients undergoing percutaneous lead extraction, and 3D CartoSound anatomical mapping of the superior vena cava, right atrium (RA), coronary sinus, right ventricle (RV), pacing leads, and binding sites before, during, and after lead removal was randomly performed in 46 of them (38 men; mean age 73.7 ± 10.5 years; 1.96 leads/patient; mean time-from-implant of 62.7 ± 51.8 months) using a 10-Fr 3D SoundStar™ catheter and integrated into the Carto® mapping system.
Results
CartoSound was able to detect more intracardiac binding sites compared to fluoroscopy (RA 17.4% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.04; RV 43.5% vs. 21.7%, p = 0.04), but was unable to assess the subclavian/innominate veins. Binding sites volume correlated positively with time-from-implant (r = 0.38, p < 0.05), and powered-sheath use (r = 0.39, p < 0.05), and negatively with procedural success (r = − 0.37, p < 0.05). When compared to standard approach, CartoSound use was characterized by a significantly lower mean procedure time (p = 0.0001), major complications (p = 0.03), and greater procedure success rates (p = 0.03).
Conclusions
Real-time 3D binding sites assessment is feasible and improves transvenous lead extraction outcomes. Its role as a complementary information requires extensive validation, and might be beneficial for a tailored strategy.
背景/目的结合位点是铅去除失败和并发症的主要原因,并且不能通过透视直接观察到。我们的目的是使用CartoSound™三维(3D)成像技术(Biosense Webster Inc., Diamond Bar, CA)在经静脉导联提取过程中评估永久性心脏起搏导联与心血管结构之间的结合位点,并将结果与标准方法进行比较。方法我们招募了291例经皮取铅术患者,随机选取其中46例(男性38例;平均年龄73.7±10.5岁;1.96领导/病人;使用10-Fr 3D SoundStar™导管并集成到Carto®测绘系统,平均植入时间为62.7±51.8个月。结果scartosound能检测到更多的心内结合位点(RA 17.4% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.04;RV 43.5% vs. 21.7%, p = 0.04),但无法评估锁骨下静脉/无名静脉。结合位点体积与植入时间呈正相关(r = 0.38, p <0.05),动力护套使用(r = 0.39, p <0.05),与手术成功率呈负相关(r = - 0.37, p <0.05)。与标准方法相比,使用CartoSound的特点是平均手术时间显著缩短(p = 0.0001),主要并发症(p = 0.03),手术成功率更高(p = 0.03)。结论实时三维结合位点评估是可行的,可提高经静脉铅拔出效果。它作为补充信息的作用需要广泛的验证,并且可能对量身定制的策略有益。

Background
The appropriate duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a thienopyridine following drug-eluting stenting in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains uncertain.
Methods and results
A systemic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), for randomized trials evaluating the relative efficacy and safety performance of an extended with a control duration DAPT after drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation. Ten trials including 32,135 patients were included. Compared with DAPT of 3 to 6 months, an extended DAPT duration of 12 months or longer significantly increased risk of major bleeding by 90% (RR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.94, p = 0.004), but did not reduced incidences of any documented ischemic events. Compared with 12-month duration, a more extended DAPT (18 to 30 months) significantly increased risk of all-cause death (RR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.65, p = 0.035) and major bleeding (RR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.25 to 2.07, p < 0.001), decreased risk of myocardial infarction (RR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.43 to 0.66, p < 0.001) and stent thrombosis (RR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.51, p < 0.001), no difference was detected regarding cardiac death and stroke.
Conclusions
A short DAPT (3 to 6 months) decreases major bleeding while maintains antithrombotic efficacy compared with an extended DAPT (≥ 12 months). A more extended DAPT (18 to 30 months) decreases ischemic events, whereas increases risks of all-cause death and major bleeding than standard 12-month therapy. A 3-to-6-month DAPT might be preferable for a broad group of patients undergoing DES implantation.
背景:经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)中药物洗脱支架植入术后阿司匹林和噻吩吡啶双重抗血小板治疗(DAPT)的适当时间仍不确定。方法和结果系统检索PubMed、EMBASE和Cochrane中央对照试验注册库(Central),随机试验评估药物洗脱支架(DES)植入后延长与对照持续时间DAPT的相对疗效和安全性。纳入了10项试验,包括32,135例患者。与3 ~ 6个月的DAPT相比,DAPT持续时间延长12个月或更长时间显著增加了90%的大出血风险(RR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.23 ~ 2.94, p = 0.004),但没有减少任何记录的缺血性事件的发生率。与12个月的持续时间相比,更长时间的DAPT(18 ~ 30个月)显著增加了全因死亡(RR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.02 ~ 1.65, p = 0.035)和大出血(RR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.25 ~ 2.07, p <0.001),心肌梗死风险降低(RR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.43 ~ 0.66, p <0.001)和支架血栓形成(RR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.21 ~ 0.51, p <0.001),在心脏性死亡和中风方面没有发现差异。结论与延长DAPT(≥12个月)相比,短时间DAPT(3 ~ 6个月)可减少大出血,同时保持抗血栓疗效。延长DAPT(18至30个月)可减少缺血性事件,但与标准的12个月治疗相比,全因死亡和大出血的风险增加。3- 6个月的DAPT可能更适合接受DES植入的广大患者。

Background
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a novel fibrosis biomarker. We ascertained: 1) the correlates of Gal-3, and 2) its association with incident heart failure among 1312 participants in The ADVANCE study (871 subjects with acute myocardial infarction [AMI] and 441 subjects with stable angina).
Methods
Cohort design, with Gal-3 measured in stored baseline serum samples (2002–04). After a median (SD) follow-up of 8.1 (3.2) years, 74 incident heart failure events were documented.
Results
The significant independent correlates of Gal-3 were age, gender, diabetes, C-reactive protein and estimated glomerular filtration rate. In Cox regression with adjustment for these variables plus race, CAD presentation, smoking status, body mass index, hypertension and cholesterol lowering drugs, there was a 1.51-fold (95% CI, 1.24 to 1.85; p < 0.0001) increased hazard of heart failure for each SD linear increment in Gal-3. In the fully-adjusted model, quartile four of Gal-3 (relative to quartile one) was associated with 2.1-fold increased hazard of heart failure (95% CI, 1.05 to 4.2). The C-statistic increased to 0.78 from 0.75 (p = 0.12) and the net reclassification index was 0.13 (SE = 0.06; p = 0.03) after adding Gal-3 quartiles to the model containing all risk factors.
Conclusions
Gal-3 is a useful marker of heart failure risk among patients with pre-existing coronary disease and may play an etiological role in the development of heart failure.

Background
The prevalence of single ventricle patients palliated with Fontan operation continues to grow worldwide. This study systematically reviewed existing evidence and performed a meta-analysis to determine the safety and efficacy of endothelin receptor antagonism in single ventricle physiology with Fontan palliation.
Methods
Keyword and reference search was conducted in PubMed Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. Inclusion criteria were — study design: randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, prospective studies, or retrospective studies; subjects: single ventricle patients with Fontan palliation; main outcome: exercise or functional capacity; language: English; and article type: peer-reviewed publications.
Results
Five studies met the inclusion criteria, including three pre–post studies, one randomized crossover open label clinical trial, and one double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Study durations ranged from 3.5 to 6 months, with a total sample size of 123. Bosentan was the single endothelin receptor blocker used in all studies. No significant increase in liver toxicity or other serious adverse events were reported in these studies. Meta-analysis found bosentan use to be associated with improvement in functional class (p = 0.0007); whereas no significant change in six-minute walk distance, resting oxygen saturation, and maximal oxygen consumption was identified.
Conclusions
Bosentan was found to be a safe and well tolerated endothelin receptor antagonist in Fontan patients over 3–6 months of therapy. Bosentan use was associated with improved functional capacity. Future studies with larger sample size and longer duration are warranted to examine the long-term safety and efficacy of endothelin blockade in Fontan physiology.
背景:在世界范围内,通过Fontan手术缓解的单脑室患者的患病率持续增长。本研究系统地回顾了现有的证据,并进行了荟萃分析,以确定内皮素受体拮抗剂在单心室生理学和Fontan姑息治疗中的安全性和有效性。方法在PubMed Cochrane Library、Web of Science、Google Scholar和ClinicalTrials.gov数据库中进行关键词和文献检索。纳入标准为:研究设计:随机对照试验、队列研究、前瞻性研究或回顾性研究;对象:Fontan姑息治疗的单脑室患者;主要结果:运动或功能能力;语言:英语;文章类型:同行评议的出版物。结果5项研究符合纳入标准,包括3项前后研究、1项随机交叉开放标签临床试验和1项双盲随机对照临床试验。研究持续时间为3.5至6个月,总样本量为123。波生坦是所有研究中使用的单一内皮素受体阻滞剂。在这些研究中没有肝毒性显著增加或其他严重不良事件的报道。荟萃分析发现,波生坦的使用与功能等级的改善相关(p = 0.0007);而6分钟步行距离、静息氧饱和度和最大耗氧量没有显著变化。结论波生坦是一种安全且耐受性良好的内皮素受体拮抗剂,治疗3-6个月。波生坦的使用与功能能力的改善有关。未来的研究需要更大的样本量和更长的持续时间来检验内皮素阻断对Fontan生理的长期安全性和有效性。
