Summary: This study reports the characteristics of arterial graft stenoses and evaluates the feasibility of radial artery percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results show that patients undergoing radial artery PCI had earlier presentation, less frequent acute coronary syndrome, and more common intervention at the ostial or distal anastomosis compared with saphenous vein graft PCI. Patients undergoing radial artery PCI were more likely to have diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction compared with those undergoing native PCI.

Summary: This study conducted a two-stage meta-analysis using reconstructed individual patient data to compare long-term mortality between coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with multivessel disease (MVD) without left main (LM) involvement. The results showed that CABG had a lower cumulative all-cause mortality compared to PCI for MVD patients without LM involvement. However, in patients with moderate to high SYNTAX score, PCI had a significantly higher 10-year all-cause mortality compared to CABG.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease. Results showed that PCI and CABG did not have significant differences in early or 5-year mortality, but exhibited varying rates of stroke, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization.

Summary: This study compared in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates between patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and patients with STEMI without SCAD undergoing PPCI. The results showed that PPCI, when indicated in patients with STEMI and SCAD, has similar in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates compared with PPCI for atherothrombotic STEMI. These findings support the value of PPCI in selected patients with SCAD.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of multiarterial grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary disease. It found that multiarterial grafting is associated with fewer adverse events, improved survival, and reduced hospital readmissions for appropriate patients.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for different lesion sites (ostial/shaft vs distal) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. It found that for patients with distal ULMCA disease, CABG is associated with lower incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and revascularization compared with PCI.

Summary: This study found a significant interaction between heart failure and the mortality risk of PCI relative to CABG, with higher mortality risk in patients with heart failure and neutral risk in patients without heart failure.

Summary: Comparison of referral patterns and outcomes between two centers in the same jurisdiction showed that more patients in Center A underwent PCI and fewer underwent CABG compared to Center B, even among patients with TVD. Regression analysis showed that Center B had a protective effect on mortality for TVD patients and those undergoing PCI, but not for CABG. Center A had increased 1-year mortality for all patients and those with TVD. The differences in outcomes can be attributed to contrasting referral practices and the discrepant rates of PCI and CABG between the centers.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the effectiveness and safety of the novel distal transradial approach (DTRA) for percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention. The results showed that DTRA reduced radial artery occlusion, bleeding-related complications, and achieved shorter time to achieve hemostasis, improving patient comfort.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of distal radial access (DRA) compared to conventional transradial access (TRA) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results showed that DRA group had a lower incidence of forearm radial artery occlusion, shorter hemostasis time, and lower rate of vascular complications compared to TRA group.

Summary: This study compared the long-term outcomes of CABG and PCI in patients with advanced CKD. The results showed that the all-cause mortality and MACCEs were comparable between the two groups at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years follow-up. However, CABG was associated with a significantly lower risk for repeat revascularization at 5 years follow-up.

Summary: An analysis of National Health Insurance data in Korea showed that pre-existing depression does not have a significant impact on mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease undergoing PCI. However, younger patients with angina and depression may have a higher risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) and plaque characteristics detected by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). The results showed that MDCT and CMR can play an important role in the detection of high-risk lesions for PMI following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of scalds caused by boiled sugar solution. By measuring the post-exposure cooling temperature of the dermis after exposure to different concentrations of boiled sugar solution in a dead porcine model, it was found that higher concentrations of boiled sugar solution resulted in a higher initial temperature of burn but did not affect cooling rates. Therefore, it is recommended to limit access to kettles in prison cells or consider using temperature-restricted devices.

Summary: The confidence in using MIPs among specialty registrars in England is low, with doctors at major trauma centers tending to be better prepared and more knowledgeable, although the effect is only marginally significant. Recommendations are made to improve education on major incidents.

Summary: High-altitude exposure can induce physiological and molecular changes that may lead to altitude-related illnesses. This study investigated the effects of repeated high-altitude exposure on oxidative stress and iron homeostasis. The results showed that exposure to high altitude increased protein oxidation and reduced antioxidant capacity and iron supply. High-altitude workers had lower oxidative stress levels and higher antioxidant capacity, iron supply, and hemoglobin concentration compared to altitude-naive individuals. The changes in oxidative stress and iron homeostasis appeared to be dependent on whether the exposure was naive or routine.

Summary: Radial forearm free flaps (RFFF) are a common choice for reconstructive surgery with advantages of short operating time and pliable characteristics. However, prior radial artery catheterization may have negative effects on its function. In this review, we examine the impact of previous transradial catheterization on the radial artery and discuss key considerations for its use in current practice.
