BACKGROUNDSeveral studies have demonstrated that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can result in reperfusion injury. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of liposomal prostaglandin E1 (Lipo-PGE1, Alprostadil, Beijing Tide Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) for enhancing microcirculation in reperfusion injury. In addition, this study determined the optimal administration method for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary PCI.
METHODSTotally, 68 patients with STEMI were randomly assigned to two groups: intravenous administration of Lipo-PGE1 (Group A), and no Lipo-PGE1 administration (Group B). The corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (cTFC) and myocardial blush grade (MBG) were calculated. Patients were followed up for 6 months. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were also measured.
RESULTSThere was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. The cTFC parameter in Group A was significantly lower than Group B (18.06 ± 2.06 vs. 25.31 ± 2.59, P < 0.01). The ratio of final MBG grade-3 was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in Group A (87.9%) relative to Group B (65.7%). There was no significant difference between the two groups in final TIMI-3 flow and no-reflow. Patients were followed up for 6 months, and the occurrence of MACE in Group A was significantly lower than that in Group B (6.1% vs. 25.9% respectively, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSMyocardial microcirculation of reperfusion injury in patients with STEMI, after primary PCI, can be improved by administering Lipo-PGE1.

BACKGROUNDThe risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO) needs particular attention in transradial intervention (TRI). Therefore, reducing vascular occlusion has an important clinical significance. The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate puncture site during TRI through comparing the occurrence of RAO between the different puncture sites to reduce the occurrence of RAO after TRI.
METHODSWe prospectively assessed the occurrence of RAO in 606 consecutive patients undergoing TRI. Artery occlusion was evaluated with Doppler ultrasound in 2 days and 1 year after the intervention. Risk factors for RAO were evaluated using a multivariate model analysis.
RESULTSOf the 606 patients, the RAO occurred in 56 patients. Compared with TRI at 2-5 cm away from the radius styloid process, the odds ratio (OR) for occlusion risk at 0 cm and 1 cm were 9.65 (P = 0.033) and 8.90 (P = 0.040), respectively. The RAO occurred in the ratio of the arterial diameter to the sheath diameter ≤1 (OR = 2.45, P = 0.004).
CONCLUSIONDistal puncture sites (0-1 cm away from the radius styloid process) can lead to a higher rate of RAO.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of ticagrelor for treating elderly acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with elective PCI and having low response to clopidogrel; to explore the bleeding risks induced by ticagrelor replacement. Methods: A total of 945 ACS patients ≥ 65 years treated in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2017-01 were enrolled. All patients received aspirin and clopidogrel dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), thrombelastography (TEG) was used to detect platelet inhibition rate when DAPT ≥ 5 days. Based on platelet inhibition rate, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Ticagrelor replacement group, n=293 patients with low response to clopidogrel and switched to ticagrelor treatment, when adjusted DAPT ≥ 5 days, platelet inhibition rate was rechecked to compare the changes; Clopidogrel group, the patients were continuously treated by the same medication, n=652. The patients were followed-up for 3 months, bleeding events were evaluated by TIMI criteria and compared between 2 groups. Risk factors of ticagrelor induced bleeding were assessed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results: Platelet inhibition rates in Ticagrelor replacement group were (51.70±42.90) %, (48.99±41.85) % and (55.08±25.70) % at (5-7) d, (8-14) d and (15-90) d ticagrelor treatment, which were higher than previous clopidogrel treatment (14.50±24.15) %, all P<0.05. The incidences of severe bleeding events were similar between 2 groups, P=0.96. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis presented that female (OR=4.329, P=0.000), low body weight (OR=0.817, P=0.039) and elevated fasting blood glucose (OR=1.251, P=0.028) were the independent risk factors for bleeding complication in ticagrelor treated elderly ACS patients. Conclusion: Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor may faster and more effectively inhibit platelet aggregation without increasing severe bleeding; female, low body weight and elevated fasting blood glucose were the independent risk factors for bleeding complication in ticagrelor treated elderly ACS patients with elective PCI.

Objective: To observe the lumen structural changes of radial artery (RA) in patients with transradial coronary intervention and the impact of nitroglycerin on the structure by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: A total of 20 patients with transradial coronary intervention were enrolled for OCT imaging to observe and compare the lumen structures of RA between the basic condition and nitroglycerin treated condition. Results: OCT imaging found that 15/20 patients had radial spasm and 1 had intimal tear. Compared to basic condition, with nitroglycerin treatment, the mean lumen diameter, lumen area and total vascular area were increased in the distal, middle and proximal portion of RA, all P<0.001; the intima-media thickness was decreased in the distal, middle and proximal portion of RA, all P<0.001; while the cross section area of tunica media, intimal thickness and extravascular membrane thickness were similar between the basic condition and nitroglycerin treated condition, all P>0.005. Conclusion: Vasodilatation drug may obviously enlarge RA lumen area and total vascular area in patients after transradial coronary intervention.

Objective To investingate the possible predictory of radial artery occlusion(RAO) after transradial approach and its preventive measures.Methods We prospectively assessed the occurrence of RAO in 669 consecutive patients undergoing transradial approach and 63 patients were excluded from the final study (24of them did not meet the inclusion criterium,31 patients converted to other artery approaches,6 patients lost clinical follow-up and 2 patients died).Artery occlusion was evaluated with Doppler ultrasound in 2 days and 1 year after the intervention.The risk factors of RAO including sex,body mass index (BMI),smoking,hypertension,diabetes,dyslipidemia,puncture site,vessel spasm,and artery diameter/ sheath ratio were evaluated using a multivariate model analysis.Results Among the 606 patients,RAO occurred in 56 patients.There were no differences in sex,age,BMI,coronary lesions,rates of vessel spasm,vessel length,medication given and operation time between the 2 group of patients with vs without ROA (all P>0.05).Univariate logistic analysis showed puncture site at 0 cm away from radial styloid and artery diameter/sheath ratio ≤ 1 were possible risk factory and puncture site > 4 cm from radial styloid was possible protective factor.Further multivariate analysis showed the odds ratio (OR) for occlusion risk at 0 cm and 1 cm were 9.65 (P=0.033) and 8.90 (P=0.040),respectively.The RAO occurred in the ratio of the arterial diameter to the sheath diameter ≤ 1 (OR=2.45,P=0.004).Conclusions Distal puncture sites (0-1 cm away from the radius styloid process) can lead to a higher rate of RAO.
