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: 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 showed that after PCI, the predominant subtype of HF is HFpEF, and higher BNP levels, lower eGFR levels, and atrial fibrillation are independent risk factors for new-onset HF. Being male and being prescribed with ACEI/ARB medications are negative predictors for new-onset HF. Additionally, long-term ACEI/ARB therapy is associated with reduced risks of developing all three subtypes of HF (HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF), compared to beta-blocker use.

Summary: This study assessed the risk profile and 3-year outcome differences between patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for premature and non-premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The results showed that patients with premature CAD had fewer risk factors, but higher rates of smoking and overweight. Additionally, premature CAD patients had lower all-cause mortality risk but higher risks of target vessel revascularization and stent thrombosis.

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 aimed to evaluate the prognostic implications of physiological 2-dimensional disease patterns in relation to the distribution and local severity of coronary atherosclerosis. The study found that disease patterns significantly influenced post-PCI physiological results and determined the risk of target vessel failure.

Summary: Periprocedural myocardial injury is common after left main percutaneous coronary interventions, but its prognostic significance remains unclear. This study suggests that isolated periprocedural troponin elevation is not clinically significant for long-term outcomes.

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: This study found that higher levels of sCD40L predict an increased risk of acute coronary events and coronary restenosis among patients with ACS or CCS undergoing PCI, but not of mortality.

Summary: This study demonstrates that in patients with SCAD undergoing complex PCI, ticagrelor can significantly reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events compared to clopidogrel, without an increased risk of major bleeding.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on lifestyle modifications and knowledge about coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study found that patients with a history of CABG had higher knowledge scores and better control of risk factors compared to patients with a history of PCI. This suggests that CABG may be more effective in educating patients and improving secondary prevention.

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 aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents with durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stents in patients at high bleeding risk receiving abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The results showed that the use of biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents was noninferior to the use of durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stents in terms of the composite outcome of death from cardiac causes, myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis at 1 year.
