Background— The persistence of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery is an important independent predictor of long-term mortality. The aim of the present study was to identify predictors of postoperative improvement in moderate IMR in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing elective isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods and Results— The study population consisted of 135 patients with ischemic heart disease (age, 65±9 years; 81% male) and moderate IMR undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Fourteen patients died before the 12-month follow-up echocardiography and were excluded. At the 12-month follow-up, 57 patients showed no or mild IMR (improvement group), whereas 64 patients failed to improve (failure group). Before coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the improvement group had significantly more viable myocardium and less dyssynchrony between papillary muscles than the failure group (P<0.001). All other preoperative parameters were similar in both groups. Large extent (≥5 segments) of viable myocardium (odds ratio, 1.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.22 to 1.89; P<0.001) and absence (<60 ms) of dyssynchrony (odds ratio, 1.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.29 to 1.72; P<0.001) were independently associated with improvement in IMR. The majority (93%) of patients with viable myocardium and an absence of dyssynchrony showed an improvement in IMR. In contrast, only 34% and 18% of patients with dyssynchrony and nonviable myocardium, respectively, showed an improvement in IMR, whereas 32% and 49%, respectively, of these patients showed worsening of IMR (P<0.001). Conclusion— Reliable improvement in moderate IMR by isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery was observed only in patients with concomitant presence of viable myocardium and absence of dyssynchrony between papillary muscles.

Background—Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) represent promising new technology, but data on their long-term outcomes in ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) setting are missing. The aim was to analyze 1-year clinical and computed tomographic angiographic outcomes after BVS implantation in STEMI. Methods and Results—PRAGUE-19 is a prospective multicenter single-arm study enrolling consecutive STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) with intention-to-implant BVS. A total of 343 STEMI patients were screened during 15 months enrollment period, and 70 patients (mean age 58.6±10.3 and 74% males) fulfilled entry criteria and BVS was successfully implanted in 96% of them. All patients were invited for clinical and computed tomographic angiographic control 1 year after BVS implantation. Restenosis was defined as ≥75% area stenosis within the scaffolded segment. Three events were potentially related to BVS: 1 in-stent restenosis (treated 7 months after pPCI with drug-eluting balloon), 1 stent thrombosis (treated 2 weeks after pPCI by balloon dilatation—this patient stopped all medications after pPCI), and 1 sudden death at home 9 months after pPCI. Four other patients had events definitely unrelated to BVS. Overall, 1-year mortality was 2.9%. Computed tomographic angiography after 1 year was performed in 59 patients. All BVS were widely patent, and binary restenosis rate was 2% (the only restenosis mentioned above). Mean in-scaffold minimal luminal area was 7.8±2.6 mm2, area stenosis was 20.1±16.3%, minimal luminal diameter was 3.0±0.6 mm, and diameter stenosis was 12.8±11.1%. Conclusions—BVS implantation in STEMI is feasible and safe and offers excellent 1-year clinical and angiographic outcomes.

Infective endocarditis as a mid-term complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: case report and literature review.

Few cases of infective endocarditis (IE) as a complication of percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have been reported. Here, we present a case of IE caused by Streptococcus viridans that occurred 6 months after TAVI with the corevalve revalving system. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and was asymptomatic during the 2 years after IE. We also present a review of the literature, including 15 published cases of IE after TAVI.

The aim of this study was to analyze periprocedural and mid-term effect of clopidogrel on platelet function using the VerifyNow P2Y12 point-of-care assay in patients undergoing TAVI. Platelet reactivity was measured at the beginning of the procedure after 300 mg clopidogrel bolus administration and during the follow-up (at 1 month after the procedure) in 52 patients undergoing TAVI using the Medtronic CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic CoreValve). A cutoff value of 240 PRU was used to identify nonresponders to clopidogrel treatment with high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR). Baseline HRPR was identified in 80% of patients and in 72% of patients during 6-month follow-up. There was no significant difference in the pharmacodynamic effects of clopidogrel on platelet reactivity from baseline to 6-months follow-up (297 ± 57 vs. 275 ± 62; P = 0.058). Ischemic event occurred only in 3 patients (5.8%) from the study group. In conclusion, majority of patients undergoing TAVI had high residual platelet reactivity after pretreatment with 300 mg of clopidogrel and during the 6-month follow-up at dual antiplatelet treatment. The noneffectiveness of clopidogrel in the TAVI population raises the question of the routine use of dual antiplatelet treatment in this setting.

Case report is presented, which describes a patient with thromboemboli trapped in the Chiari network within the right heart and resistant to thrombolysis. The right atrial masses were completely removed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Histological evaluation confirmed a mixed thromboemboli, with thrombus structures showing signs of organization and surrounded by a fibrous capsule. A heterozygous methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism was found, and the plasma level of the plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) was 50% higher than the normal upper limit. In this presented case, the Chiari network displayed a protective function, but the expansion and organization of the thromboembolus caught there made it resistant to lytic therapy. Another important factor which could have influenced the resistance to thrombolysis was the high level of PAI-1. PAI-1 is the primary physiologic inhibitor of plasminogen activation in blood. Elevated pre-treatment levels of PAI-1 may reduce the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy by preventing or retarding clot dissolution. The patient’s DNA was tested for a common single-base-pair polymorphism (four or five guanine bases) in the promoter region of the gene (4G/5G), but the presence of this variant allele was not confirmed: the patient was homozygous for the 5G allele (5G/5G genotype).

Background. Surgical correction of mitral regurgitation (MR) can lead to postoperative low cardiac output state. We aimed to assess the acute hemodynamic changes after percutaneous MitraClip therapy (a unique model without influence of factors linked to surgical procedure) in patients with functional MR without the influence of general anaesthesia. Methods. We studied invasive hemodynamic parameters in 23 patients before procedure (conscious, nonsedated patients), during procedure (intubated patients), and the first day after MitraClip implantation (conscious, extubated patients). Results. Mitral valve clipping significantly increased cardiac index (CI) (from 2.0 ± 0.5 to 3.3 ± 0.6 L/min/m2; p < 0.01). Conversely, there was significant reduction in the mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) (from 18.6 ± 5.7 to 10.5 ± 3.8 mmHg; p < 0.01), mean pulmonary artery pressure (from 29.8 ± 10.9 to 25.2 ± 10.3 mmHg; p = 0.03), and pulmonary vascular resistance index (from 531 ± 359 to 365 ± 193 dyn·s·cm−5/m2; p = 0.03). Conclusions. The functional MR therapy with percutaneous MitraClip device results in significant increase in CI (+66%) and concomitant decrease in PCWP (−42%). None of our patients developed low cardiac output state. Our results support the idea that significant part of low cardiac output state after cardiac surgery is due to surgery related factors rather than due to increase in afterload after MR elimination.
