BACKGROUND: Patients with severe aortic stenosis present frequently (∼50%) with concomitant obstructive coronary artery disease. Current guidelines recommend combined surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as the preferred treatment. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) represent a valid treatment alternative. We aimed to test the non-inferiority of FFR-guided PCI plus TAVI versus SAVR plus CABG in patients with severe aortic stenosis and complex coronary artery disease. METHODS: This international, multicentre, prospective, open-label, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial was conducted at 18 tertiary medical centres across Europe. Patients (aged ≥70 years) with severe aortic stenosis and complex coronary artery disease, deemed feasible for percutaneous or surgical treatment according to the on-site Heart Team, were randomly assigned (1:1) to FFR-guided PCI plus TAVI or SAVR plus CABG according to a computer-generated sequence with random permuted blocks sizes stratified by site. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, disabling stroke, clinically driven target-vessel revascularisation, valve reintervention, and life-threatening or disabling bleeding at 1 year post-treatment. The trial was powered for non-inferiority (with a margin of 15%) and if met, for superiority. The primary and safety analyses were done per an intention-to-treat principle. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03424941) and is closed. FINDINGS: Between May 31, 2018, and June 30, 2023, 172 patients were enrolled, of whom 91 were assigned to the FFR-guided PCI plus TAVI group and 81 to the SAVR plus CABG group. The mean age of patients was 76·5 years (SD 3·9). 118 (69%) of 172 patients were male and 54 (31%) patients were female. FFR-guided PCI plus TAVI resulted in favourable outcomes for the primary endpoint (four [4%] of 91 patients) versus SAVR plus CABG (17 [23%] of 77 patients; risk difference -18·5 [90% CI -27·8 to -9·7]), which was below the 15% prespecified non-inferiority margin (pnon-inferiority<0·001). FFR-guided PCI plus TAVI was superior to SAVR plus CABG (hazard ratio 0·17 [95% CI 0·06-0·51]; psuperiority<0·001), which was driven mainly by all-cause mortality (none [0%] of 91 patients vs seven (10%) of 77 patients; p=0·0025) and life-threatening bleeding (two [2%] vs nine [12%]; p=0·010). INTERPRETATION: The TCW trial is the first trial to compare percutaneous treatment versus surgical treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis and complex coronary artery disease, showing favourable primary endpoint and mortality outcomes with percutaneous treatment.

BACKGROUND: A third of endovascularly treated patients with stroke experience incomplete reperfusion (expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [eTICI] <3), and the natural evolution of this incomplete reperfusion remains unknown. We systematically reviewed the literature and performed a meta-analysis on the natural evolution of incomplete reperfusion after endovascular therapy. METHODS: A systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed up until March 1, 2024, using a predefined strategy. Only full-text English-written articles reporting rates of either favorable (ie, delayed reperfusion (DR) or no new infarct) or unfavorable progression (ie, persistent perfusion deficit or new infarct) of incompletely reperfused tissue were included. The primary outcome was the rate of DR and its association with functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2) at 90 days postintervention. Pooled odds ratios with 95% CIs were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS: Six studies involving 950 patients (50.7% female; median age, 71 years; interquartile range, 60-79) were included. Four studies assessed the evolution of incomplete reperfusion on magnetic resonance imaging perfusion imaging, while 2 studies used diffusion-weighted imaging and noncontrast computed tomography imaging, where new infarct was used to denote unfavorable progression. Five studies defined incomplete reperfusion as eTICI 2b50 or 2c. DR occurred in 41% (interquartile range, 33%-51%) of cases 24 hours postintervention. Achieving DR was associated with a higher likelihood of functional independence at 90 days (odds ratio, 2.5 [95% CI, 1.9-3.4]). CONCLUSIONS: Nearly half of eTICI <3 patients achieve DR, leading to favorable clinical outcomes. This subgroup may derive limited or potentially harmful effects from pursuing additional reperfusion strategies (eg, intra-arterial lytics or secondary thrombectomy). Accurately predicting the evolution of incomplete reperfusion could optimize patient selection for adjunctive reperfusion strategies at the end of an intervention.

BACKGROUND: Inflammation is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Data from recent trials suggest that colchicine reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. METHODS: In this multicenter trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned patients who had myocardial infarction to receive either colchicine or placebo and either spironolactone or placebo. The results of the colchicine trial are reported here. The primary efficacy outcome was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, or unplanned ischemia-driven coronary revascularization, evaluated in a time-to-event analysis. C-reactive protein was measured at 3 months in a subgroup of patients, and safety was also assessed. RESULTS: A total of 7062 patients at 104 centers in 14 countries underwent randomization; at the time of analysis, the vital status was unknown for 45 patients (0.6%), and this information was most likely missing at random. A primary-outcome event occurred in 322 of 3528 patients (9.1%) in the colchicine group and 327 of 3534 patients (9.3%) in the placebo group over a median follow-up period of 3 years (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85 to 1.16; P = 0.93). The incidence of individual components of the primary outcome appeared to be similar in the two groups. The least-squares mean difference in C-reactive protein levels between the colchicine group and the placebo group at 3 months, adjusted according to the baseline values, was -1.28 mg per liter (95% CI, -1.81 to -0.75). Diarrhea occurred in a higher percentage of patients with colchicine than with placebo (10.2% vs. 6.6%; P<0.001), but the incidence of serious infections did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients who had myocardial infarction, treatment with colchicine, when started soon after myocardial infarction and continued for a median of 3 years, did not reduce the incidence of the composite primary outcome (death from cardiovascular causes, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, or unplanned ischemia-driven coronary revascularization).

BACKGROUND: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have been shown to reduce mortality in patients after myocardial infarction with congestive heart failure. Whether routine use of spironolactone is beneficial after myocardial infarction is uncertain. METHODS: In this multicenter trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned patients with myocardial infarction who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention to receive either spironolactone or placebo and either colchicine or placebo. The results of the spironolactone trial are reported here. The two primary outcomes were a composite of death from cardiovascular causes or new or worsening heart failure, evaluated as the total number of events; and a composite of the first occurrence of myocardial infarction, stroke, new or worsening heart failure, or death from cardiovascular causes. Safety was also assessed. RESULTS: We enrolled 7062 patients at 104 centers in 14 countries; 3537 patients were assigned to receive spironolactone and 3525 to receive placebo. At the time of our analyses, the vital status was unknown for 45 patients (0.6%). For the first primary outcome, there were 183 events (1.7 per 100 patient-years) in the spironolactone group as compared with 220 events (2.1 per 100 patient-years) in the placebo group over a median follow-up period of 3 years (hazard ratio adjusted for competing risk of death from noncardiovascular causes, 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69 to 1.21; P = 0.51). With respect to the second primary outcome, an event occurred in 280 of 3537 patients (7.9%) in the spironolactone group and 294 of 3525 patients (8.3%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio adjusted for competing risk, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.13; P = 0.60). Serious adverse events were reported in 255 patients (7.2%) in the spironolactone group and 241 (6.8%) in the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with myocardial infarction, spironolactone did not reduce the incidence of death from cardiovascular causes or new or worsening heart failure or the incidence of a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, stroke, or new or worsening heart failure.

BACKGROUND: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has greatly improved short-term survival for end-stage liver disease. However, cardiovascular events (CVE) still pose a significant threat to long-term post-transplant health. Aim of this study is to assess the occurrence of long-term cardiovascular events and whether it relates to new-onset diabetes after liver transplantation (NODALT). METHODS: We conducted a multicentric retrospective analysis of adult OLT recipients with regular follow-up visits spanning from January 1995 to December 2020. Data collection included anamnestic, clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory data from two centers. NODALT was diagnosed following ADA guidelines. The primary outcome was incident CVE (a composite of fatal and non-fatal stroke and myocardial infarction). CVE occurrence was analyzed in relation to NODALT diagnosis, along with clinical characteristics associated with its development. RESULTS: Ninety-three eligible Caucasian patients, with a median age of 57.0 years (IQR: 49.0-62.0, 69.9% male), were enrolled. Over the median follow-up period of 100.5 months, 29 patients (31.2%) developed NODALT, and 14 patients (15.1%) developed any CVE, with 9 being in the NODALT group. A significant association between NODALT and cardiovascular complications was confirmed by both generalized estimating equation (OR 5.31; 95% CI 1.59-17.72, p = 0.006) and Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank = 0.046). Metabolic syndrome and impaired fasting glucose were identified as baseline risk factors for the incident NODALT (OR 5.75; 95% CI 1.44-22.92, p = 0.013 and OR 7.29; 95% CI 1.46-36.41, p = 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Post-OLT cardiovascular events are less frequent than previously reported but are notably linked to NODALT, highlighting the interplay between metabolic syndrome and impaired fasting glucose.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Diabetes has been shown in last decades to be associated with a significantly higher mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary PCI (PPCI). Therefore, the aim of current study was to evaluate the impact of diabetes on times delays, reperfusion and mortality in a contemporary STEMI population undergoing PPCI, including treatment during the COVID pandemic. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 is a large-scale retrospective multicenter registry involving PPCI centers from Europe, Latin America, South-East Asia and North-Africa, including patients treated from 1st of March until June 30, 2019 and 2020. Primary study endpoint of this analysis was in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were postprocedural TIMI 0-2 flow and 30-day mortality. Our population is represented by 16083 STEMI patients. A total of 3812 (23,7 %) patients suffered from diabetes. They were older, more often males as compared to non-diabetes. Diabetic patients were less often active smokers and had less often a positive family history of CAD, but they were more often affected by hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, with higher prevalence of previous STEMI and previous CABG. Diabetic patients had longer ischemia time, had more often anterior MI, cardiogenic shock, rescue PCI and multivessel disease. They had less often out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in-stent thrombosis, received more often a mechanical support, received less often a coronary stent and DES. Diabetes was associated with a significantly impaired postprocedural TIMI flow (TIMI 0-2: 9.8 % vs 7.2 %, adjusted OR [95 % CI] = 1.17 [1.02-1.38], p = 0.024) and higher mortality (in-hospital: 9.1 % vs 4.8 %, Adjusted OR [95 % CI] = 1.70 [1.43-2.02], p < 0.001; 30-day mortality: 10.8 % vs 6 %, Adjusted HR [95 % CI] = 1.46 [1.26-1.68], p < 0.001) as compared to non-diabetes, particularly during the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that in a contemporary STEMI population undergoing PPCI, diabetes is significantly associated with impaired epicardial reperfusion that translates into higher in-hospital and 30-day mortality, particularly during the pandemic.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor, with several detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. Contrasting results have been reported so far on its prognostic role in patients admitted for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, we investigated the impact of hypertension on short-term mortality in a large multicenter contemporary registry of STEMI patients, including patients treated during COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 was a retrospective registry that included STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between March and June of 2019 and 2020 in 109 high-volume primary PCI centers from 4 continents. We collected data on baseline, clinical and procedural characteristics, in-hospital outcome and 30-day mortality. For this analysis patients were grouped according to history of hypertension at admission. RESULTS: A total of 16083 patients were assessed, including 8813 (54.8%) with history of hypertension. These patients were more often elderly, with a worse cardiovascular risk profile, but were less frequently active smoker. Some procedural differences were observed between the two groups, including lower rate of thrombectomy and use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors or cangrelor but more extensive coronary disease in patients with hypertension. Between patients with and without hypertension, there was no significant difference in SARS-CoV-2 positivity. Hypertensive patients had a significantly higher in-hospital and 30-day mortality, similarly observed in both pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 era, and confirmed after adjustment for main baseline differences and propensity score (in-hospital mortality: adjusted odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] =1.673 [1.389-2.014], P < 0.001; 30-day mortality: adjusted hazard ratio (HR) [95% CI] = 1.418 [1.230-1.636], P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This is one of the largest and contemporary study assessing the impact of hypertension in STEMI patients undergoing primary angioplasty, including also the COVID-19 pandemic period. Hypertension was independently associated with significantly higher rates of in-hospital and 30-day mortality.

OBJECTIVE: Ischemic complications account for significant patient morbidity following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The Prevention and Treatment of Vasospasm with Clazosentan (REACT) study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of clazosentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist, in preventing clinical deterioration due to delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with aSAH. METHODS: REACT was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study. Eligible patients had aSAH secured by surgical clipping or endovascular coiling, and had presented with thick and diffuse clot on admission CT scan. Patients were randomized (1:1 ratio) to 15 mg/hour intravenous clazosentan or placebo within 96 hours of the aSAH for up to 14 days, in addition to standard of care treatment including oral or intravenous nimodipine. The primary efficacy endpoint was the occurrence of clinical deterioration due to DCI up to 14 days after initiation of the study drug. The main secondary endpoint was the occurrence of clinically relevant cerebral infarction at day 16 after study drug initiation. Other secondary endpoints included clinical outcome assessed on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at week 12 post-aSAH. Imaging and clinical endpoints were centrally adjudicated. RESULTS: A total of 409 patients were randomized between February 2019 and May 2022 across 74 international sites. Three patients did not start study treatment and were not included in the analysis set. The occurrence of clinical deterioration due to DCI was 15.8% (32/202 patients) in the clazosentan group and 17.2% (35/204 patients) in the placebo group, and the difference was not statistically significant (relative risk reduction [RRR] 7.2%, 95% CI -42.6% to 39.6%, p = 0.734). A nonsignificant RRR of 34.1% (95% CI -21.3% to 64.2%, p = 0.177) was observed in clinically relevant cerebral infarcts treated with clazosentan (7.4%, 15/202) versus placebo (11.3%, 23/204). Rescue therapy was less frequently needed for patients treated with clazosentan compared to placebo (10.4%, 21/202 vs 18.1%, 37/204; RRR 42.6%, 95% CI 5.4%-65.2%). A nonsignificant relative risk increase of 25.4% (95% CI -10.7% to 76.0%, p = 0.198) was reported in the risk of poor GOSE and mRS scores with clazosentan (24.8%, 50/202) versus placebo (20.1%, 41/204) at week 12 post-aSAH. Treatment-emergent adverse events were similar to those reported previously. CONCLUSIONS: Clazosentan administered for up to 14 days at 15 mg/hour had no significant effect on the occurrence of clinical deterioration due to DCI.

Although sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) in patients with chronic HF, there are limited data on initiation in hospitalized patients with HF. DAPA ACT HF-TIMI 68 (Dapagliflozin and Effect on Cardiovascular Events in Acute Heart Failure - Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 68) is an international, randomized, double-blind trial evaluating the initiation of dapagliflozin (10 mg daily) vs placebo in 2,401 patients hospitalized for acute HF. Patients were enrolled irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction, type 2 diabetes status, or chronicity of HF (de novo and worsening chronic HF). Randomized participants receive blinded treatment for 2 months. The primary efficacy endpoint is time to first occurrence of cardiovascular death or worsening HF (worsening HF during the index admission, rehospitalization for worsening HF, or urgent HF visit). Key safety endpoints include symptomatic hypotension and worsening kidney function. This is the first cardiovascular outcomes trial designed specifically to evaluate the efficacy and safety of in-hospital initiation of dapagliflozin in patients hospitalized for the management of acute HF. (Dapagliflozin and Effect on Cardiovascular Events in Acute Heart Failure - Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 68 [DAPA ACT HF-TIMI 68]; NCT04363697; EudraCT # 2022-001262-35).

BACKGROUND: Recent studies, including the TENSION trial, support the use of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke with large infarct (Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) 3-5). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of EVT compared with best medical care (BMC) alone in this population from a German healthcare payer perspective. METHODS: A short-term decision tree and a long-term Markov model (lifetime horizon) were used to compare healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) between EVT and BMC. The effectiveness of EVT was reflected by the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) outcome from the TENSION trial. QALYs were based on published mRS-specific health utilities (EQ-5D-3L indices). Long-term healthcare costs were calculated based on insurance data. Costs (reported in 2022 euros) and QALYs were discounted by 3% annually. Cost-effectiveness was assessed using incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to account for parameter uncertainties. RESULTS: Compared with BMC, EVT yielded higher lifetime incremental costs (€24 257) and effects (1.41 QALYs), resulting in an ICER of €17 158/QALY. The results were robust to parameter variation in sensitivity analyses (eg, 95% probability of cost-effectiveness was achieved at a willingness to pay of >€22 000/QALY). Subgroup analyses indicated that EVT was cost-effective for all ASPECTS subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: EVT for acute ischemic stroke with established large infarct is likely to be cost-effective compared with BMC, assuming that an additional investment of €17 158/QALY is deemed acceptable by the healthcare payer.
