Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of different dual antiplatelet therapies in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods Such databases as The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMbase, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data were searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies on the effectiveness and safety of dual antiplatelet therapies both short-duration (≤6 months) and long-duration (gt;6 months) after percutaneous coronary intervention. The literature was screened according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria by two reviewers independently, the quality was evaluated, the data were extracted, and meta-analyses were performed by using RevMan 5.1 software. Results Eight trials were included, of which 3 were RCTs involving 7 475 patients, and 5 were observational studies involving 12 744 patients. Meta-analyses on RCTs showed that the incidence of death or myocardial infarction in the long-duration treatment group was lower than that of the short-duration treatment group (OR=0.74, 95%CI 0.56 to 0.98, Plt;0.000 1), while meta-analyses on observation studies showed the similar result (OR=0.7, 95%CI 0.45 to 1.08, P=0.11). With the variables of published year and follow-up time, the heterogeneity of cohort studies was discussed through meta-regression (Z=3.61, P=0.000) which indicated that both published year and follow-up time might be the source of heterogeneity due to their contribution. For RCTs, the incidence of severe bleeding events in the short-duration treatment group was lower than that in the long-duration treatment group (OR=1.29, 95%CI 0.99 to 1.69, P=0.06). For observational studies, the incidence of late stent thrombosis in the long-duration treatment group was lower than that in the short-duration treatment group (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.15 to 1.07, P=0.07). Conclusion The long duration (gt;6months) of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention can reduce the incidence of death or myocardial infarction and decrease the tendency of late stent thrombosis, but cannot obviously increase the incidence rate of severe bleeding events. The current evidence shows no marked superiority in longer duration (gt;12months) of dual antiplatelet therapy.
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods A total of 152 patients with CSP diagnosed by B-type ultrasonography were enrolled prospectively in this study from June 2014 to May 2016 in Chengdu Women and Children’s Central Hospital and Suining Central Hospital. Six patients from Chengdu Women and Children’s Central Hospital and 84 from Suining Central Hospital for Volunteered HIFU treatment were regarded as observation group. The other 62 patients from Chengdu Women and Children’s Central Hospital were selected to accept UAE treatment voluntarily were designated as control group. The clinical efficacy and therapeutic safety of the two groups were compared after the treatment. Results Eighty-two patients (91.1%) in the observation group and 32 (51.6%) in the control group had a bleeding volume equal to 100 mL or lower during complete curettage of uterine cavity (P<0.05). The hospitalization expenses of the above two groups were respectively (25 126.51±1 473.49) and (32 928.42 ±1 579.35) yuan (P<0.05). The hospitalization time was (11.03±1.52) and (10.65±1.87) days respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the normal rate of human chorionic gonadotropin recovery between the observation group and the control group at 14 days after treatment (P>0.05). Eighty-seven patients (96.7%) in the observation group and 51 (82.3%) in the control group had their menstrual recovery to normal level at 2 months after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 1.1% and 6.4% in the observation group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions HIFU in the treatment of CSP is safe and effective. Compared with UAE, HIFU requires less cost with fewer complications, which is worth promoting.
Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) grafting versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with single-vessel disease of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Methods Databases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2015), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP were searched electronically from inception to Oct. 2015, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about MIDCAB versus PCI for single-vessel disease of the LAD. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 10 RCTs including 1 489 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with the PCI group, the MIDCAB group could significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative target vessel revascularization (OR=0.20，95%CI 0.13 to 2.29，P < 0.000 01), and the incidence of main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (OR=0.44, 95%CI 0.33 to 0.58, P < 0.000 01). No significant differences were found between the two groups in total case mortality (OR=1.23, 95%CI 0.83 to 1.83, P=0.31), cardiogenic death (OR=1.12, 95%CI 0.59 to 2.12, P=0.73), and the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (OR=2.16, 95%CI 0.83 to 5.59, P=0.11). Conclusion In reducing the incidences of postoperative target vessels again revascularization and MACCE of patients with single-vessel disease of the LAD, MIDCAB is superior to PCI. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusion still needs to be verified by carrying out more high-quality RCTs.

Methods Eight pregnant goats with two fetal in each goat were included. With the same anesthesia condition, one of the twin fetus was chose to perform the intrauterine cardiac intervention surgery. The fetal heart beating rate was monitored, and blood samples of the fetus were taken to do the blood gas analysis and to detect the concentration of inflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, IL8, and TNFα). Results Two of the eight fetal lambs which was died in the operation because of pericardial tapenade. In the other six survived fetus, the PH was lower than after the surgery, and the concentrations of lactic acid, IL1, IL6, and IL8 are higher than after the surgery. There was no significant difference of PCO2,PO2 and TNFα between before and after the surgery. Conclusion The intrauterine cardiac intervention surgery can make the PH of fetal plasma lower and the concentrations of lactic acid and IL1, IL6, IL8 higher.
Objective To compare the effectiveness, complications, and follow-up results between endovascular recanalization (EVR) and open surgical revascularization (OSR) in the treatment of peripheral pseudoaneurysm, so as to provide a reference for choosing a appropriate surgical procedure. Methods Clinical data of 62 cases of peripheral pseudoaneurysm between January 2001 and January 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. EVR was performed in 28 patients (EVR group) and OSR in 34 patients (OSR group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, tumor location, and diameter of tumor between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The operation time, blood loss, ICU monitoring time, and hospitalization time in EVR group were significantly shorter than those in OSR group (P lt; 0.05). In OSR group, 12 cases (35.29%) had early postoperative complications, including 2 deaths due to acute respiratory distress syndrome, 5 cases of pulmonary infection, 3 cases of wound infection, and 2 cases of deep vein thrombosis; in EVR group, 2 cases (7.14%) had early postoperative complications, including 1 case of hematoma at puncture site and 1 case of thrombosis in stent. There was significant difference in early postoperative complication incidence between 2 groups (χ2=6.691, P=0.008). The patients were followed up 12-39 months (mean, 26 months). In OSR and EVR groups after operation, the patency rates of the reconstructed vessels were 96.88% (31/32) and 92.86% (26/28) respectively at 12 months, showing no significant difference (χ2=0.014, P=0.905); the patency rates were 89.29% (25/28) and 84.00% (21/25) respectively at 24 months, showing no significant difference (χ2=0.322, P=0.570). Conclusion Compared with OSR, EVR is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective therapy for peripheral pseudoaneurysm with the advantages of less bleeding, shorter hospitalization time, and less complications. Long-term effectiveness still needs further observation, and patients have to take antiplatelet drugs for long time after EVR.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of four antiplatelet regimens after coronary drug-eluting stents by network meta-analysis.MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase and Web of Science databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the comparison of different antiplatelet regimens after coronary drug-eluting stenting from inception to December 31st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk bias of included studies. Network meta-analysis was then performed by using Gemtc14.3 software, Stata16.0 software and RevMan5.3 software.ResultsA total of 23 RCTs involving 45 837 patients were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that: in terms of prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) recurrence, the aspirin monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy was inferior to the triple antiplatelet therapy (OR=2.13, 95%CI 1.08 to 4.03). In terms of reducing the incidence of ischemic compound events, the triple antiplatelet therapy was superior to the standard dual antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.53, 95%CI 0.39 to 0.72), the aspirin monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.49, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.69) and the P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.73). There was no statistically significant difference among the four interventions in reducing the rate of in-stent thrombosis and all-cause mortality (P>0.05). In terms of safety, the bleeding rate of aspirin monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy was lower than that of standard dual antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.70, 95%CI 0.55 to 0.86) and triple antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.36 to 0.90), and the bleeding rate of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy was also lower than that of standard dual antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.39 to 0.65) and triple antiplatelet therapy (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.67). The probability ranking diagram showed that: in terms of the recurrence rate of MI, the rate of in-stent thrombosis and the incidence of ischemic compound events, triple antiplatelet therapy was the lowest and aspirin monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy was the highest. However, in terms of all-cause mortality and bleeding rate, aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy was the lowest and triple antiplatelet therapy was the highest.ConclusionsThe available evidence suggests that when the risk of ischemia is low, we should choose aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short-term dual antiplatelet therapy, and P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy may have a lower risk of ischemia and bleeding. When the risk of ischemia is high and bleeding is low, the triple or standard dual antiplatelet therapy should be selected, and the efficacy of triple antiplatelet therapy is superior, while the safety may be inferior.
ObjectiveTo summarize our experience of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of coronary accidents during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsFrom January 2011 to January 2013, 30 patients with coronary accidents during PCI from our hospital and other hospitals received surgical treatment in Xinhua Hospital, Medical School of Shanghai Jiaotong University. There were 21 male and 9 female patients with their age of 68±11 (54-84) years. Coronary accidents included coronary artery dissection in 12 patients, coronary artery perforation in 12 patients, acute in-stent thrombosis in 2 patients, dilation balloon rupture in 1 patient and balloon retention in 1 patient, and PCI guidewire retention in 2 patients. Among the 30 patients, 8 patients received intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation preoperatively. All the patients underwent emergency CABG, including 29 patients undergoing off-pump CABG and 1 patient undergoing CABG on pump with heart beating. The patients' medical history, PCI and surgical records were retrospectively reviewed, and surgical treatment strategies, clinical outcomes and prognosis were summarized. ResultsThe average number of grafts was 2.8±0.4. Postoperative length of ICU stay was 8.3±4.8 days, and mean hospital stay was 20.3±15.2 days. Postoperative complications included low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) in 3 patients, tracheotomy in 2 patients, acute renal failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy in 2 patients, and reexploration for bleeding in 1 patient. Twenty-eight were discharged, 1 patient died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome caused by LCOS, and another patient died of refractory ventricular fibrillation. A total of 26 patients were followed up for 10.2±8.3 months and 1 patient died of stroke during the following up. ConclusionEmergency CABG can restore coronary artery blood flow quickly and provide good results for coronary accidents during PCI.
ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors of serum NT-proBNP level in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after PCI, and to analyze its predictive value for the short-term prognosis of patients. MethodsA total of 98 elderly patients with AMI in Zhengzhou central hospital from May 2020 to August 2022 were selected, all of whom underwent PCI. The level of serum NT-proBNP before and after PCI was detected. The level of serum NT-probNP after PCI was ≥125 pg/mL, and the level of serum NT-probNP after PCI was normal. Univariate analysis of the general data of the elevated NT-proBNP group and the normal group, Lasso regression model was used to screen the screening variables, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of serum NT-proBNP level in elderly AMI patients after PCI. The prognosis recovery of patients with different NT-proBNP and the level of NT-proBNP in patients with different prognosis were compared and analyzed. ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of NT-proBNP level in patients with short-term prognosis after PCI. ResultsLogistic regression analysis showed that the time from onset to PCI, age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke, number of stents implanted, no recirculation and stent diameter were the influencing factors of serum NT-proBNP level in elderly AMI patients after PCI. The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was 21.43% (21/98) in 98 patients followed up 6 months after surgery, and the incidence of NT-proBNP increased group was 68.00% (17/25), which was significantly higher than that of normal group (5.48% (4/73) (P<0.05). The level of NT-proBNP in the group with MACE was significantly higher than that in the group without MACE (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that AUC was 0.813 (95%CI 0.721 to0.884), sensitivity and specificity were 80.95% and 79.22%, respectively, suggesting that serum NT-proBNP level after PCI had certain predictive value for short-term prognosis of patients. ConclusionSerum NT-proBNP level in elderly AMI patients after PCI has a good ability to predict the short-term prognosis of patients. Comprehensive consideration of the number of stents inserted, the presence of stroke, the presence of reflow and age and other factors to strengthen the monitoring of NT-proBNP level is helpful to prevent and control the occurrence of MACE, so as to improve the prognosis of patients.
