Implementation Of Same Day Discharge Following Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Kaitlyn Miller Jeffcoat

The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing Student Works

High rates of Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) have led to ever-increasing numbers of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed. The prevalence of IHD and subsequent PCI has been found to limit bed availability and access to cardiovascular care. Historically, the standard of care following elective PCI has included overnight observation (OO) though clinical advances to PCI procedures have made it possible for same day discharge (SDD) following elective PCI. There are many benefits of SDD following elective PCI that include increased access to cardiovascular care, hospital cost savings, and patient satisfaction without compromising patient safety. The DNP …

Periprocedural And In-Hospital Outcomes Among Percutaneous Coronary Intervention In Saphenous Vein Graft: A Retrospective Observational Study At A Tertiary Care Hospital In South Asian Country, Abdul Baqi, Sheema Saadia

Section of Cardiology

Background: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) may occlude either early or several months to years after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Doing re-do CABG surgery is associated with higher complication and mortality rate as compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in SVG. However, PCI of SVG is associated with more periprocedural and in-hospital complications as compared to PCI of native coronary arteries. Due to the scarcity of local data in this regard, this study was designed to estimate the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among PCI in SVG.
Objectives: We aim to study the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among patients who …

Soluble Neprilysin And Long-Term Clinical Outcomes In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Ik Jun Choi, Sungmin Lim, Youngdeok Hwang, Dongjae Lee, Won Jik Lee, Kwan Yong Lee, Mi-Jeong Kim, Doo Soo Jeon

Publications and Research

Background: Neprilysin has an essential role in regulating fluid balance and vascular resistance, and neprilysin inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in patients with heart failure. However, the potential predictive value of neprilysin levels as a biomarker for cardiovascular risk remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of soluble neprilysin (sNEP) levels in patients with ischemic heart disease.

Methods: Neprilysin levels were measured in 694 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These patients were classified into two groups according to their serum levels of neprilysin and categorized into the …

Prognostic Value Of 6-Minute Walk Distance In Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Veterans Affairs Prospective Study, Tarun W Dasari, Bhavin Patel, Siddharth A Wayangankar, David Alexander, Yan D Zhao, Joann Schlegel, Cheuk Leung, Pedro Lozano, Faisal Latif, Udho Thadani

The Texas Heart Institute Journal

The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test is a useful prognostic tool in chronic heart failure. Its usefulness after percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown.

In a prospective observational study, patients underwent a 6MWD test within 2 weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (death, acute coronary syndrome, and heart failure admission) at one year. Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve were used to determine the 6MWD test's predictive power, and the Youden index was used to measure its effectiveness.

A total of 212 patients were enrolled (98% men; mean age, 65 …

Effect Of Increasing Age On Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting In Older Adults With Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis And Meta-Regression, Mahin R. Khan, Waleed T. Kayani, Waqas Ahmad, Malalai Manan, Ravi S. Hira, Ihab Hamzeh, Hani Jneid, Salim S. Virani, Neal Kleiman, Nasser Lakkis

Office of the Provost

Background: Older adults (≥70-year-old) are under-represented in the published data pertaining to unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD).
Hypothesis: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) might be comparable to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for revascularization of ULMCAD.
Methods: We compared PCI versus CABG in older adults with ULMCAD with an aggregate data meta-analyses (4880 patients) of clinical outcomes [all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularization, stroke and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events(MACCE)] at 30 days, 12-24 months & ≥36 months in patients with mean age ≥70 years and ULMCAD. A meta-regression analysis evaluated the effect of age on mortality …

Coronary No-Reflow Following Percutaneous Intervention, Yaser Khalid D.O., Harsh Patel D.O., Adam Levine D.O.

Rowan-Virtua Research Day

Normally, coronary revascularization with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to restoration of normal coronary blood flow through the coronary arteries, with reperfusion of the myocardium. However, there is a group of patients who do not benefit from the prompt restoration of antegrade flow, as they fail to show resolution of the indirect signs of ischemia such as electrocardiographic (ECG) changes and improvements in perfusion abnormalities. This condition is referred to as the “no-reflow phenomenon.” In this case report, we will discuss the case of a patient who developed coronary no-reflow immediately following PCI.

Results: Median logistic euroSCORE was 28.6 (interquartile range: 14.6-43.4). Median baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 50%. Procedural success rate was …

Stent Thrombosis: Regional Prevalence, Risk Factors, And Outcomes, Andrew M. Ayers, Chi C. Cho, Robyn Shearer, M. Fuad Jan, Anjan Gupta

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews

Background: Stent thrombosis is an infrequent but catastrophic complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Many studies usually involve few stent thrombosis patients, generally less than 60, given its prevalence. While dual antiplatelet therapy has decreased stent thrombosis significantly in the general population, there are still patients who present with occurrence and recurrence of stent thrombosis.

Purpose: We sought to define the prevalence of site-specific stent thrombosis in a larger cohort of patients by specific coronary territories and determine if this had an effect on cardiovascular outcomes. In addition we sought to elucidate the role of previous coronary artery bypass grafting …
