Brachytherapy and bivalirudin evaluation study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Bivalirudin is shown to be a competent substitute for heparin in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The safety and efficacy of bivalirudin in patients undergoing PCI and vascular brachytherapy (VBT) are not known. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin as a single antithrombotic agent in patients undergoing PCI and VBT. METHODS:A total of 152 patients enrolled in the Brachytherapy and Bivalirudin Evaluation Study underwent PCI and VBT with either gamma (n = 8) or beta radiation (n = 144). The main outcome measures were in-hospital events and 30-day clinical outcomes. All patients were treated with bivalirudin (0.75 mg/kg bolus and 1.75 mg/kg per hour infusion for beta radiation, 1 mg/kg bolus and 2.5 mg/kg per hour infusion for gamma radiation) as a single antithrombotic agent during the entire procedure. RESULTS:Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. More than 90% of the patients received beta radiation. In-hospital events showed a higher prevalence of acute procedural intracoronary thrombosis in patients treated with gamma- vs beta radiation (25% vs. 0.7%, P < .001). Thirty-day outcomes including death, Q-wave, and non-Q-wave myocardial infarctions, subacute stent thromboses, and repeat revascularizations were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION:Bivalirudin, as a single antithrombotic agent during PCI and VBT with beta emitters, may be used safely, but its use in the setting of PCI and gamma radiation may not be acceptable due to an increased incidence of acute procedural intracoronary thrombosis.

  • Left atrial appendage flow velocity after successful ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation: clinical perspective from transesophageal echocardiographic assessment during sinus rhythm.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Left atrial appendage flow velocity (LAAFV) is a predictor of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, as well as CHA2DS2-VASc score. However, little is known about LAAFV in sinus rhythm (SR) after catheter ablation. The aim of this study was to determine clinical predictors of low LAAFV in pati...
