Abstract Background Postoperative AF (PoAF) is a common complication of the early postoperative period of noncardiac, thoracic surgery and is associated with prolonged hospital stay. In order to investigate the predictors of PoAF in the specific setting of lung surgery of oncologic patients, we retrospectively analyzed 338 consecutive patients admitted to our department to be operated for lung cancer with a thoracotomy approach (i.e., open surgery). We determined this population’s prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of PoAF. Results PoAF occurred in 35/338 (10.4%) patients and was significantly more frequent in older patients, with a best predictive value of 71 years at ROC curve analysis (AUC 0.70, p

Objective: The role of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) in the selection of patients for the MitraClip procedure remains matter of debate. The goal of this study is to assess the pattern of LV remodeling and its clinical implications after MitraClip procedures, and to evaluate the role of LV ejection fraction (EF) in patient selection. Methods: Complete echocardiography was performed before, at discharge, 1,6, and 12-months in 45 patients treated with MitraClip for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) [age 78.2 ± 8.3 yrs, NYHA 3.74 ± 0.44, EF 36.5 ± 12.8%]. From baseline to 6-month, reverse and adverse LV-R were defined as a ≥15% decrease in LV end-systolic volume and a ≥10% increase in LV end-systolic volume, respectively. Results: At 6-month, sustained reduction of MR ≤ 2 was observed in all patients, but two; reverse, adverse, and no LV-R occurred in 51% (N = 23), 18% (N = 8), and 31% (N = 14) of patients, respectively. Baseline LV end-diastolic volume was an independent predictor of reverse LV-R [P = 0.004], whereas EF was not. During follow-up (17.5 ± 9.3 months) period, 50% of adverse/no LV-R patients were free of the composite endpoint (mortality and hospitalization for heart failure) compared to 95.7% of reverse LV-R patients (P = 0.006). In Cox analysis, adverse LV-R and adverse/no LV-R were associated with composite endpoint with adjusted hazard ratios of 5.6 (95% CI 1.65-19.00) and 10.08 (95% CI 1.29–78.6), respectively. Conclusion: After MitraClip implantation, sustained adverse or no LV-R occurred in one-in-two patients and was associated with poor prognosis. Large LV volumes may help us to avoid the futility of the procedure.

Abstract Background The association of infective endocarditis (IE) with spondylodiscitis (SD) was first reported in 1965, but few data are available about this issue. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of SD in patients with IE, and to determine the clinical features and the prognostic impact of this association. Methods We retrospectively analysed 363 consecutive patients admitted to our Department with non-device-related IE. Radiologically confirmed SD was revealed in 29 patients (8%). Long-term follow-up (average: 3 years) was obtained by structured telephone interviews; in 95 cases (13 of whom had been affected by SD), follow-up echocardiographic evaluation was also available. Results At univariable analysis, the combination of IE with SD was associated with male gender (p = 0.017), diabetes (p = 0.028), drug abuse (p = 0.009), Streptococcus Viridans (p = 0.009) and Enterococcus (p = 0.015) infections. At multivariable analysis, all these factors independently correlated with presence of SD in patients with IE. Mortality was similar in patients with and without SD. IE relapses at 3 years were associated with the presence of SD (p = 0.003), Staphylococcus aureus infection (p

SAMe-TT2R2 ,atrial fibrillation ,non-vitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulants ,vitamin-K-antagonist oral anticoagulants ,Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system ,RC666-701 - Abstract
Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better managed with a target-specific oral anticoagulant (NOAC). We hypothesized that in clinical practice, VKAs may be prescribed less frequently to patients with AF and SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 than to patients with lower scores. Methods and results: We analyzed the Phase III dataset of the Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (GLORIA-AF), a large, global, prospective global registry of patients with newly diagnosed AF and ≥1 stroke risk factor. We compared baseline clinical characteristics and antithrombotic prescriptions to determine the probability of the VKA prescription among anticoagulated patients with the baseline SAMe-TT2R2 score >2 and ≤ 2. Among 17,465 anticoagulated patients with AF, 4,828 (27.6%) patients were prescribed VKA and 12,637 (72.4%) patients an NOAC: 11,884 (68.0%) patients had SAMe-TT2R2 scores 0-2 and 5,581 (32.0%) patients had scores >2. The proportion of patients prescribed VKA was 28.0% among patients with SAMe-TT2R2 scores >2 and 27.5% in those with scores ≤2. Conclusions: The lack of a clear association between the SAMe-TT2R2 score and anticoagulant selection may be attributed to the relative efficacy and safety profiles between NOACs and VKAs as well as to the absence of trial evidence that an SAMe-TT2R2-guided strategy for the selection of the type of anticoagulation in NVAF patients has an impact on clinical outcomes of efficacy and safety. The latter hypothesis is currently being tested in a randomized controlled trial.

Abstract Purpose Mortality in infective endocarditis (IE) is still high, and the long term prognosis remains uncertain. This study aimed to identify predictors of long-term mortality for any cause, adverse event rate, relapse rate, valvular and ventricular dysfunction at follow-up, in a real-world surgical centre. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 363 consecutive episodes of IE (123 women, 34%) admitted to our department with a definite diagnosis of non-device-related IE. Median follow-up duration was 2.9 years. Primary endpoints were predictors of mortality, recurrent endocarditis, and major non-fatal adverse events (hospitalization for any cardiovascular cause, pace-maker implantation, new onset of atrial fibrillation, sternal dehiscence), and ventricular and valvular dysfunction at follow-up. Results Multivariate analysis independent predictors of mortality showed age (HR per unit 1.031, p

Abstract Background Valve repair is the treatment of choice for native mitral valve regurgitation. The feasibility of repair when the defect is caused by acute infective endocarditis (IE) is debated. This study aims to compare the outcome of repair and replacement procedures, to report the rate of repair in a single surgical center, and to review the literature on this topic. Results We retrospectively analyzed 108 patients with native mitral IE, potentially eligible for surgical repair. Of these 108, 90 (83%) underwent surgery, and 18 were treated conservatively. Among the 90 surgical patients, 57 (63%) underwent valve replacement and 33 valve repair (37%). The mean follow-up duration was 3 years. The two primary endpoints were mortality and freedom from recurrent endocarditis. Secondary endpoints were the post-operative incidence of major adverse events (hospitalization for any cause, pacemaker implantation, new onset of atrial fibrillation, sternal dehiscence), left ventricular systolic function (LVSF), and valvular function at 1-year echocardiographic follow-up. All-cause mortality was lower for valve repair, although not significantly (p = 0.86), as well as nonfatal adverse events (p = 0.92) and relapse rate (p = 0.20) at 3 years. We did not find differences between the two groups at echocardiographic follow-up, neither for left ventricular systolic function (p = 0.22), nor for valvular continence (p = 0.28). Conclusions In our experience, the mid-term outcome of repair in IE is comparable to valve replacement and should be considered whenever possible, as in degenerative valve disease. The review of the literature supports this strategy.

Introduction: Studies have shown that a hemodynamic-guided therapy improves the post operative outcomes of high-risk patients.This study, evaluated if a short period through minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring, pressure recording analytical method (PRAM), on admission to a post-cardiac surgery step-down unit (SDU), may identify patients at higher risk of 6-month adverse events after cardiac surgery. Methods: From December 2016-May 2017,173 patients were admitted in SDU within 24-48 hours of major cardiac surgery procedure, and submitted to clinical, laboratoristic and echocardiographic evaluation and a 1-hour PRAM recording to obtain a "biohumoral snapshot" of individual patient’s.156 173 patients (17 patients were lost at follow-up) were phone interviewed six months after surgery,to evaluate, as a composite end-point, the adverse events during follow-up. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify a model clinical-biohumoral (CBM) and clinical-biohumoral hemodynamics (CBHM). Results: No data from past clinical history and no conventional risk score (EuroScore II, STS score)independently predicted the risk of 6-month major events in our study. The risk of adverse events at six-month follow-up was directly related, in the CBM, to sustained post-operative cardiac arrhythmias, higher values of NT-proBNP and of arterial pH; inversely related to values of hs-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and, in the CBHM, to low values of cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE) and dP/dtmax. Conclusion: Our study although limited by its observational nature and by the limited number of patients enrolled, showed that a short period of minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring increased the accuracy to identify patients at major risk of mid-term events after cardiac surgery.

BackgroundHeart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Metabolomics may help refine risk assessment and potentially guide HF management, but dedicated studies are few. This study aims at stratifying the long-term risk of death in a cohort of patients affected by HF due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) using serum metabolomics via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.MethodsA cohort of 106 patients with HF due to DCM, diagnosed and monitored between 1982 and 2011, were consecutively enrolled between 2010 and 2012, and a serum sample was collected from each participant. Each patient underwent half-yearly clinical assessments, and survival status at the last follow-up visit in 2019 was recorded. The NMR serum metabolomic profiles were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the patient's risk of death. Overall, 26 patients died during the 8-years of the study.ResultsThe metabolomic fingerprint at enrollment was powerful in discriminating patients who died (HR 5.71, p = 0.00002), even when adjusted for potential covariates. The outcome prediction of metabolomics surpassed that of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (HR 2.97, p = 0.005). Metabolomic fingerprinting was able to sub-stratify the risk of death in patients with both preserved/mid-range and reduced ejection fraction [hazard ratio (HR) 3.46, p = 0.03; HR 6.01, p = 0.004, respectively]. Metabolomics and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), combined in a score, proved to be synergistic in predicting survival (HR 8.09, p = 0.0000004).ConclusionsMetabolomic analysis via NMR enables fast and reproducible characterization of the serum metabolic fingerprint associated with poor prognosis in the HF setting. Our data suggest the importance of integrating several risk parameters to early identify HF patients at high-risk of poor outcomes.

A 59-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department for heart failure (HF), New York Heart Association (NYHA) IV, showing an anterior, evolved myocardial infarction (MI) with a wide apical left ventricular aneurysm (LVA), ejection fraction (EF) 24%, and global longitudinal strain (GLS) −5. 5% by echo. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed an apical LVA without thrombus, EF 20%, and a transmural delayed enhancement in the myocardium wall. Coronarography showed a three-vessel disease with occluded proximal left anterior descending (LAD) and proximal right coronary artery (RCA). Based on the cardiac CT scan, we decided to generate a three-dimensional (3D) print model of the heart, for better prediction of residual LV volumes. After LVA surgery plus complete functional revascularization, an optimal agreement was found between predicted and surgical residual LV end-diastolic (24.7 vs. 31.8 ml/m2) and end-systolic (54.1 vs. 69.4 ml/m2) volumes, with an improvement of NYHA class, from IV to I. The patient was discharged uneventfully and at 6- and 12-month follow-up, the NYHA class, and LV volumes were found unchanged. This is a second report describing the use of the 3D print model for the preoperative planning of surgical management of LVA; the first report was described by Jacobs et al. among three patients, one with a malignant tumor and the remaining two patients with LVA. This article focused on the use of the 3D print model to optimize surgical planning and individualize treatment of LVA associated with complete functional revascularization, leading to complete recovery of LV function with a favorable outcome.

Background. This study is aimed at comparing the clinical outcomes of unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD) treatment with contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a “real-world” population. Methods and Results. Overall, 558 consecutive patients with ULMCAD (mean age 71 ± 9 years, male gender 81%) undergoing PCI or CABG were compared. The primary endpoint was the composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke. Diabetes was present in 29% and acute coronary syndrome in 56%; mean EuroSCORE was 11 ± 8. High coronary complexity (SYNTAX score >32) was present in 50% of patients. The primary composite endpoint was similar after PCI and CABG up to 4 years (15.5 ± 3.1% vs. 17.1 ± 2.6%; p=0.585). The primary end point was also comparable in a two propensity score matched cohorts. Ischemia-driven revascularization was more frequently needed in PCI than in CABG (5.5% vs. 1.5%; p=0.010). By multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus (HR 2.00; p=0.003) and EuroSCORE (HR 3.71; p

Background. Although the clinical effects of stent malapposition remain controversial, several analyses of stent registries consistently have found that malapposed struts were frequently identified in patients who experienced stent thrombosis. In this study, which is a subanalysis of the previously published CREBX-OCT study, we compared optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis at the index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and at six-month follow-up in 37 patients randomly assigned to receive, by a single operator, three different second-generation drug-eluting stents (Cre8, Biomatrix, and Xience) aiming to clarify if the malapposition observed at six-month follow-up was persistent or late-acquired. Moreover, we investigated if there were some differences in the behavior of the three different kinds of stents in relation to the struts malapposition. Material and Methods. We analyzed 614 and 599 cross sections and 5514 and 5377 struts at the index PCI and at six-month follow-up, respectively. The qualitative analysis of the plaque composition among the three groups did not show significant differences. Results. The lumen area did not significantly change from the index procedure to the six-month follow-up in the three groups; on the contrary, the number of malapposed struts increased significantly in the Cre8 and Biomatrix groups but not in the Xience group: 0.58 ± 1.51 and 3.29 ± 5.33 (p

Background Clopidogrel nonresponsiveness is a prognostic marker after percutaneous coronary intervention. Prasugrel and ticagrelor provide a better platelet inhibition and represent the first‐line antiplatelet treatment in acute coronary syndrome. We sought to assess the prognostic impact of high platelet reactivity (HPR) and the potential clinical benefit of a “tailored” escalated or changed antiplatelet therapy in patients with chronic total occlusion. Methods and Results From Florence CTO‐PCI (chronic total occlusion‐percutaneous coronary intervention) registry, platelet function assessed by light transmission aggregometry, was available for 1101 patients. HPR was defined by adenosine diphosphate test ≥70% and optimal platelet reactivity by adenosine diphosphate test
