Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of paclitaxel-coated balloon for de novo coronary lesions with diameters ≥ 2.8 mm. Methods: This prospective study included 215 consecutive patients with 238 de novo lesions, who received paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty in Beijing Hospital from May 2014 to June 2016. According to the reference vessel diameter, the patients were divided into large vessel disease (LVD) group (reference vessel diameter≥2.8 mm, 85 patients and 90 lesions) and small vessel disease (SVD) group (reference vessel diameter<2.8 mm, 130 patients and 148 lesions). Clinical characteristics, interventional procedures and major adverse cardiovascular events (includingall-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization) after procedure were compared between the 2 groups. Results: (1)Patients in LVD group were younger than SVD group ((60.1±11.1) years old vs. (65.0±10.6) years old, P<0.01), and less patients had diabetes (24.7% (21/85) vs. 43.1%(56/130), P<0.01).(2)Prevalence of three-vessel disease (35.5%(30/85) vs. 53.6%(67/130), P<0.05) and complex lesions (type B2/C,34.4% (31/90) vs. 50.0%(74/148), P<0.05) were significantly lower in LVD group than in SVD group.(3) During pre-dilation, the rate with plain balloons use was significantly higher in SVD group than in LVD group(76.4%(113/148) vs. 58.9%(53/90), P<0.01), while the proportion of additional use of non-compliant balloons was significantly higher in LVD groupthan in SVD group(20.0% (18/90) vs. 3.4% (5/148) , P<0.01). The ratio of paclitaxel-coated balloon diameter/RVD was significantly lower (0.87±0.12 vs. 0.96±0.15, P<0.01) and the duration of dilationwas significantly shorter ((41.5±9.5) seconds vs. (45.1±9.1) seconds, P<0.01) in LVD group than those in SVD group. Each group had 1 failure case that was bailout stented with drug-eluting stents. The success rate of paclitaxel-coated balloon treatment was similar in LVD group and SVD group (98.9% (89/90) vs. 99.3%(147/148), P>0.05).(4) At the fourth day of procedure, there was 1 acute myocardial infarction requiring emergent target lesion revascularization in SVD group. No major adverse cardiovascular event was observed in LVD group during hospitalization. Forty-two patients with 53 lesions, including 27 LVD lesions and 26 SVD lesions,underwent coronary angiography at (9.4±4.6) months after paclitaxel-coated balloon intervention. The quantitative coronary angiography analysis showed that minimal lumen diameter significantlyincreased during follow-up than that of post-procedurein SVD group ((1.71±0.36)mm vs. (1.52±0.30)mm, P<0.05) , while in LVD group the minimal lumen diameter was similar between during follow-up and post-procedure ((2.35±0.48)mm vs. (2.19±0.34)mm, P>0.05). Major adverse cardiovascular event rate was 0 in LVD group and 2.3%(3/130) in SVD group (P>0.05) during follow up. No death was observed in this patient cohort. Conclusion: Treatment with paclitaxel-coated balloon for de novo coronary lesions with diameters≥2.8 mm is safe and effective.

P>Background A mutation in MEF2A (myocyte enhancer factor-2A) had been reported to be the first gene linked directly to coronary artery disease (CAD). However, an opposing opinion was proposed recently that MEF2A mutations are not a common cause of sporadic CAD. In this study, we screened exon 11 of the MEF2A gene in people of the Han nationality in China and finished some functional analysis of found variations. Materials and methods A gene structural investigation of MEF2A in 257 CAD patients and 154 control individuals were developed in this study. Subsequently, typical MEF2A variations were cloned and expressed in HeLa or 293T cell line to illustrate whether found structure changes could influence the main biological functions of these proteins. At last, another set of gene structural screen was initialized to get more reliable conclusions. Results Totally 16 different variations were detected in exon 11 of this gene in the first set of gene structural screen. By cloning and expressing typical MEF2A proteins in cultured cells, all the acquired MEF2A variations had transcriptional activation capabilities and subcellular localization patterns similar to those of the wild-type protein. Further larger scale genetic screening also revealed that the reported genetic variations of MEF2A did not differ significantly between CAD patients and healthy controls. Conclusions Our results reveal that structural changes of exon 11 in MEF2A are not involved in sporadic CAD in the Han population of China.
Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and results of different treatment strategies in patients with artery pseudoaneurysm after coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods The clinical characteristics and different treatment strategies were summarized among patients who suffered artery pseudoaneurysm after coronary angiography or PCI from November 2004 to July 2008.Results We had 14 cases of arterial pseudoaneurysm.Two patients had diagnostic coronary angiography and 12 patients had percutaneous coronary intervention.Twelve patients had history of hypertension(92.9%) and 6 patients had diabetes(42.9%).One patient had radial artery pseudoaneurysm,2 cases with artery pseudoaneurysm were right brachial artery and 11 cases were femoral artery.One patient had bilateral femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.The average diameter of pseudoaneurysm cavity was 3.46±1.85cm(1.2~8.1cm).Eight cases had a large pseudoaneurysm(defined as diameter≥3cm).The average diameter of neck of artery pseudoaneurysm was(4.09±1.94)mm.One femoral artery pseudoaneurysm was spontaneously closed one day later.Nine of ten patients with pseudoaneurysms(69.2%) were successfully treated by ultrasound-guided manual compression.Three artery pseudoaneurysms were successfully closed by duplex-guided injection of Reptilase.One patient with right brachial pseudoaneurysm had surgery repair of pseudoaneurysm after failure of manual compression with duplex guiding and surgical repair needed local skin ulcer.Conclusion Most patients with arterial pseudoaneurysm could be successfully treated by ultrasound-guided manual compression.Patients who are failure by manual compression may need local injection of Reptilase by ultrasound guiding and manual compression.Direct surgery repair is occasionally needed.

Objectives To observe the changes of renal function and blood pressure in the patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis(ARAS) undergoing percutaneous transluminal renal artery stenting(PTRAS),and to explore the prognostic result of baseline renal function.Methods Twenty-three patients were divided into two groups:group A(14 case) and group B(9 case),according to an initial GFR≥50 ml·min-1·1.73 mm-2 or 50 ml·min-1·1.73 mm-2 respectively.The changes of blood pressure and renal function were compared between before and after PTRAS and between the two groups after PTRAS.Results For the entire group,SBP and DBP decreased by 19 mm Hg and 6 mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa,P=0.000,P=0.051) respectively,while serum Cr increased by 4.4%(P=0.594) and GFR decreased by 4.4%(P=0.462) after PTRAS.In group A,BP decreased by 26/8 mm Hg(P=0.000,P=0.033),Cr increased by 21.8%(P=0.137) and GFR decreased by 12.9%(P=0.066);while in group B,BP decreased by 8/1 mm Hg(P=0.292,P=0.773),Cr decreased by 12.6%(P=0.126)and GFR increased by 16.8%(P=0.090).Conclusions PTRAS could obviously improve blood pressure in ARAS patients.There seems to be no significance in renal function improvement.
Objective To investigate the clinical and angiographic characteristics and follow-up in patients with variant angina pectoris.Methods The general clinical and angiographic and follow-up data in 7 patients with variant angina pectoris were analyzed.Results All 7 patients had the symptom of angina pectoris.Of which 3 patients had transient ST segment elevation during onset of angina,2mm elevation in V1-3 in one case and 2mm elevation in II,Ⅲ and AVF in another two.The right coronary spasm occurred in 3 cases,left anterior descending artery spasm in another 3 cases,and left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery spasm in 1 case.The narrow severity of spasm ranged from 50% to 99%.Four patients had normal coronary artery.Two patients presented coronary spasm bed on the mild or medium stenosis.One patient with left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery spasm had stent implantation.The clinical follow-up was completed for all 7 patients,and during which no acute myocardial infarction or death occurred.Conclusion The coronary spasm in variant angina pectoris may occur in patients with normal coronary artery or on the basis of coronary lesion.The follow-up shows some patients have recurrent angina even though they continue the use of anti-angina agent.
Objective To evaluate the protection effect of atorvastatin treatment to myocardium during percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods One hundred patients with unstable angina were randomized to atorvastatin group,who received atorvastatin 40 mg per day for 3 to 7 days,and control group,who did not receive statin therapy before PCI.All patients were given conventional treatment for coronary artery disease.Serum TnT,CK-MB,and Hs-CRP were checked before and 24 hours after PCI in both groups.All the patients were followed 1 month for major adverse cardiac events.Results The rates of TnT and CK-MB elevation were lower in atorvastatin group than in control group,but no statistical significance(17.6% vs.24.5%,P>0.05 and 17.6%vs.32.7%,P>0.05,respectively) was found.Seven patients in atorvastatin group and eight patients in control group(13.7% vs.16.3%,P>0.05) had ALT elevation,there is no severe adverse reaction in both group.The change of Hs-CRP after PCI in atorvastatin group was similar to that in control group(0.81±3.14 vs.-0.12±1.53,P>0.05).During 1 month follow-up,there is no death,myocardial infarction or revascularization in both groups.Conclusion Atorvastatin therapy before PCI has good safety and tolerance,it may lead to potential reduction of myocardial damage during PCI.
Aim To investigate the association of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 gene polymorphisms with acute coronary syndrome.Methods We analyzed two single nucleotide polymorphisms of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 gene Leu125Val and Ser563Asn in 117 angiographically documented patients with acute coronary syndrome and 117 age-and sex-matched controls in the Chinese population,using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism strategy.Some samples were verified by direct sequencing.Results we found that two polymorphisms were in linkage disequilibrium with each other(D'=0.896)and that frequencies of 125Leu1 and 563Ser alleles were significantly increased in patients compared with controls(51.7% vs 39.7%,P<0.05;54.3% vs 42.3%,P<0.05,respectively).The frequencies of genotypes for 125Leu/Leu+ 125Leu/Val and 563Ser/Ser+ 563Ser/Asn were also significantly increased in the patients(P<0.05).In addition,there were no significant difference in patients among different vessel disease and between acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina.Conclusion platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 gene polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for acute coronary syndrome.
