Objective To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of renal artery stent treatment for severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) in the elderly. Methods In a prospective nonrandomized study in our hospital from January 2003 to April 2008, 147 consecutive elderly patients with ARAS (diameter reduction ≥ 65%) underwent percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty and stenting (PTRAS) for resistant hypertension or reserving renal function. They were followed up for 6- 66 months and the effects of the procedure on renal function, blood pressure and cardiovascular events were observed. Results The success rate of PTRAS was 100%. During 6-66 months of follow up, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly decreased, and less antihypertensive medication was taken (P<0.01). Serum creatinine was significantly decreased during 6-48 months of follow up (P<0. 05) and did not change significantly during 54-66 months of follow up (P>0. 05). Blood urea nitrogen was significantly decreased during 6-24 months of follow up (P<0.05) and did not change significantly during 30-66 months of follow up (P>0.05). Complications related with the procedure occurred in 7 cases (4.8%). 17 patients failed to follow up (11.6%) and in 18 cases cardiovascular events occurred (12.2%), including 4 cases of renal events (2. 7%), 4 cases of myocardial infarction (2.7%), 2 cases of stroke (1.4%) and 8 cases of cerebral and cardiovascular events (5.4%) during 6-66 months of follow up. The survival rates of free-of-events at year 1, 2, 3, 4 and5 were 91.0%(121/133), 90.2%(83/92), 78.5%(51/65), 73.8%(31/42) and 54.8%(17/ 31), respectively. The survival rates at year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were 94.0% (125/133), 90. 2% (83/ 92), 84.6%(55/65), 73. 8%(31/42) and 61.3%(19/31), respectively. Conclusions Renal artery stent as treatment for ARAS in the elderly has a beneficial effect on blood pressure control and on renal function during middle and long term follow up. The treatment may be helpful in reduction of cardiovascular events and mortality, which should be investigated further.

Objective To compare the long-term effect of three different drng-eluting stents (DES) for in-stent restenotic lesions. Methods From April 2004 to June 2006, 390 consecutive patients undergoing DES implantation including 187 Cypher (group C), 89 Taxus (group T) and 114 Firebird (group F) with resulting in-stent restenotic lesions were studied. A mean of 2 year clinical and 7-month angiographic follow-up was carried out. Results Baseline characteristics indicated that there were more unstable angina cases in T group and less left main disease and more triple vessel disease cases in F group. A mean of 2-year follow-up results showed no difference of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rate among the three groups (23.0% vs 22.5% vs 13.2% , P = 0. 081) and no difference of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization rate(1.1% vs 4. 5% vs 1.8% , P = 0. 210, 5.9% vs 2. 2% vs 2. 6% ,P =0. 226 and 2. 9% vs 2. 2% vs 0. 9% , P =0. 509). There was no difference of total stent thrombosis or its components among the three groups (total: 4. 8% vs 3.4% vs 2. 6%, P=0. 605, early: 0. 5% vs 0 vs 0. 9% ,P =0. 560, late: 1.6% vs 1.1% vs 0. 9% ,P =0. 849 and very late: 2. 9% vs 2. 2% vs 0. 9% , P =0. 509) according to Academic Research Consortium (ARC) standard definitions (definite + probable). 7-month angiographic follow-up indicated that there was a lower trend of both in-stent and in-segment trestenosis rate in C and F groups (17.9% vs 29. 4% vs 13.6% ,P = 0. 214 and 21.8% vs 35.3% vs 15.9%, P =0. 132) and in-stent and in-segment late loss was significantly smaller inCand F groups [(0.31±0.12) mm vs(0.75±0.24) mm vs(0.31±0.13) mm, P=0.000 and (0.33±0.18)mm vs (0.61±0.23)mm vs (0.31±0.14)mm, P=0.001]. Conclusions Results from this 2-year follow-up, single-center study showed comparable effectiveness and safety of Cypher, Taxus and Firebird DES for in-stent restnotic lesions, but Cypher and Firebird had better effect in reducing restenosis.

Objective: To explore the impact of body mass index (BMI) on long-term prognosis in patients of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 1435 consecutive STEMI patients received PCI in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2013-12 were enrolled. Based BMI (kg/m2), the patients were divided into 3 groups: Normal weight group, the patients with 18.5≤BMI<24.0, n=365, Overweight group, 24.0≤BMI<28.0, n=718 and Obese group, BMI≥28.0, n=352. The impact of BMI on major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) was observed; weather BMI had predictive value for all-cause mortality and cardiac death was analyzed. Results: All-cause mortality in Obese group was lower than Normal weight group (0.6% vs 3.0%), P=0.027; while the incidences of bleeding, stroke, in-stent thrombosis, blood revascularization, re-myocardial infarction and cardiac death were similar among 3 groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death (HR=0.201, 95% CI 0.043-0.943, P=0.042), BMI was not the independent predictor for cardiac death. Conclusion: For STEMI patients after PCI treatment, the individuals with obesity had the better prognosis than those with normal weight and overweight. Obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death and obesity paradox was applicable in such population.

Objective: To study the aortic root imaging and clinical application in 15 patients with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: A total of 15 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis received TAVI in our hospital from 2011-03 to 2013-11 were studied. The CT scan and transthoracic echocardiography were conducted to measure the aortic root anatomy and the differences of annulus size between CT and echocardiography were calculated. The prosthetic valves were selected based on CT measurement. The pre-operative accuracy of measurement was evaluated by the follow-up study at 6 months after operation.
Results: The CT measured pre-operative aortic annulus short diameter was (21.5 ± 2.4) mm, long diameter was (27.3 ± 2.7) mm, the average inner diameter was (24.4 ± 2.4) mm, left ventricular out lfow (LVOF) tract long diameter was (28.3 ± 4.5) mm, the average inner diameter of LVOF was (24 ± 3.5), ascending aorta diameter was (35.3 ± 4.4) mm. The Venus Medtech A-Valve implanted in 8 patients with #26 and in 7 patients with #29. The average inner diameter of aortic annulus measured by CT was larger than transthoracic echocardiography, P<0.001. During 6 months follow-up period, no patients had aortic root rupture, coronary obstruction, moderate and severer aortic and peri-aortic regurgitation. There were 4 patients with atrio-ventricular block and received permanent pacemaker implantation.
Conclusion: There is a difference for aortic annulus size by CT and transthoracic echocardiography measurements. CT may presisely assess the aortic root morphology and provide strong support for TAVI.
