Restenosis remains a major limitation of percutaneous coronary interventions. Numerous studios including pharmacological approaches and new devices failed to reduce the restenosis rate except coronary stenting. Since the results of $BENESTENT^{1)}\;and\;STRESS^{2)}$ studies came out, coronary stenting has been the most popular interventional strategy in the various kinds of coronary stenotic lesions, although the efficacy of stenting was shown only in the discrete lesion of the large coronary artery. The widespread use of coronary stenting has improved the early and late outcomes after coronary intervention, but it has also led to a new and serious problem, e.g., in-stent restenosis. Intravascular radiation for prevention of restenosis is a new technology in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention. Recent animal experiments and human trials have demonstrated that local irradiation, in conjunction with coronary interventions, substantially diminished the rate of restenosis. This paper reviews basic radiation biology of intracoronary radiation and its role in the inhibition of restenosis. The current status of intracoronary radiation therapy using Re-188 liquid balloon is also discussed.

Background: Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) was developed to combine the advantages of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it is still controversial whether it is more optimal to perform CABG or PCI first. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of these 2 approaches. Methods: Eighty patients who underwent HCR from May 2010 to December 2015 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The CABG-first group comprised 12 patients and the PCI-first group comprised 68 patients. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital perioperative factors, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), and the incidence of repeated revascularization, especially for the target vessel lesion. Results: No significant difference was found in the amount of postoperative bleeding (p=0.239). The incidence of MACCEs was similar between the CABG-first and PCI-first groups (1 of 12 [8.3%] vs. 5 of 68 [7.4%], p>0.999). Repeated revascularization was performed on 3 patients (25%) in the CABG-first and 9 patients (13.2%) in the PCI-first group (p=0.376). Conclusion: There were no significant differences in postoperative and medium-term outcomes between the CABG-first and PCI-first groups. Based on these results, it can be inferred that it is safe to opt for either CABG or PCI as the primary procedure in 2-stage HCR.

Objectives : To determine obesity for the screening of individuals at high risk of coronary heart disease in urban areas. Methods : Data were obtained from 4,137 adults between 19 and 85 years of age (2,372 males, 1,765 females), not recognized as taking medicines for cardiovascular diseases, who underwent a health check-up at the health promotion center of university hospitals in cities between Jan. 2003 and Dec. 2004. The variables studied were divided into two broad categories, and their relationships examined. obesity indices and risk factors for coronary heart disease. To reveal the relation between each of the obesity indices and the proportion of individuals at risk of coronary heart disease, the obesity indices were stratified and odds ratios obtained after age adjustment. Results : From a gender comparison of anthropometric measures, men were found to have significantly greater heights, weights, and waist and hip circumferences than women. From a gender comparison by the obesity indices, women were found to have significantly higher BMI, %Fat, waist to hip and waist to stature ratios than men. As obesity indices, the waist to stature ratio and the waist circumference were strongly correlated with coronary risk factors, both in men and women. The age-adjusted odds ratio of coronary risk factors increased significantly with increasing waist circumference, BMI, %fat, waist to hip and waist to stature ratios, and were highest specifically for the waist to stature ratio and the waist circumference. Conclusions : The study results showed that the waist to stature ratio and the waist circumference, as obesity indices, were most closely correlated with coronary risk factors. It is suggested that the waist to stature ratio and, specifically, the waist circumference can be effectively used in the field of health management for screening those with high levels of coronary risk factors.

This study was performed to investigate the hemodynamic changes which occur after occlusion of coronary artery and relation to reperfusion arrhythmias(RA) which occur when occlusion materials were removed form coronary artery in dogs. The occlusion of coronary artery was designed by temporary ligation of left circumflex branch of coronary artery during 30 minutes in 16 dogs. During occlusion of coronary artery, cardiac output(CO), mean aortic pressure (mAP), aortic systolic pressure(ASP), aortic diastolic pressure(ADP). left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP), left ventricular maximum dp/dt (LV max. dp/dt) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured. The occurrence of RA were observed for 5 minute after reperfusion by explained of ligation. As a results, cardiac arrest occurred in 4 dogs during occlusion of coronary artery, and RA was not observed in 5 dogs while it was seen in 5 dogs when explained ligation(reperfusion) after 30 minutes, the rest 2 dogs occurred temporary tachycardia. In hemodynamics changes, LVSP decreased by 10.9% and LV max. dp/dt by 5.4 % in comparison to control value which not ligated coronary artery, and LVEDP increased by 73.3%. The CO/min and mAP also decreased by 10.7% and by 11.3% expectedly. In the relationship to occurrence RA and hemodynamics changes, the LVSP and LV max. dp/dt at the time of occlusion in the RA group decreased by 11.9% and 0.8% in comarison to the control value while the decrease was 7.7% and 10% in the non-RA group. But the LVEDP in creased by 109.1% in the RA group while the decreased was 44.6% in the non-RA group. Referring CO/min, the drop was 8.8% in the RA occurrence group and 12.9% in the non-occurence group. These parameters of LVEDP, LV max. dp/dt, and CO were significant difference(p<0.05). The mAP also decreased by 11.9 in the RA group and by 9.8% in the non-RA group, but these defference were not the significant difference.

The Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging-Practical Tutorial (ASCI-PT) is an instructional initiative of the ASCI School designed to enhance educational standards. In 2021, the ASCI-PT was convened with the goal of formulating a consensus statement on the assessment of coronary stenosis and coronary plaque using coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Nineteen experts from four countries conducted thorough reviews of current guidelines and deliberated on eight key issues to refine the process and improve the clarity of reporting CCTA findings. The experts engaged in both online and on-site sessions to establish a unified agreement. This document presents a summary of the ASCI-PT 2021 deliberations and offers a comprehensive consensus statement on the evaluation of coronary stenosis and coronary plaque in CCTA.

In this country, the number of patients with coronary artery disease is progressively increasing with the change of life style and improvement of the diagnostic procedures. In addition, the medically invasive procedure for treating ischemic heart disease was rapidly developed and the surgical patients have more complex and multiple lesions and more surgical risks. Fifty three patients with ischemic heart disease underwent coronary bypass grafting [CABG] for recent 24 months. Twenty patients had three-vessel disease, 17 patients two-vessel disease, and 2 patients single-vessel disease. The average number of distal anastomoses was 3.3 per patient with the range of I to 6 grafts. Forty-one patients [77.4 %] had preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction of 50 % or more and 14 patients[26.4%] had a significant left main coronary lesion. Saphenous vein grafts were employed in 52/53 patients [98.1%] and internal mammary grafts, which were anastomosed to left anterior descending artery, in 38/53 patients[71.7%]. Two patients, whom percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty failed for, underwent emergency CABG with only saphenous vein grafts and both patients survived.The hospital mortality was 1.9 % and there was no late death. Perioperative myocardial infarction occurred in 1.9%. All survivors were asymptomatic[in 83% of the patients] and/or improved over their preoperative status. Twenty-nine patients were included in blood conservation group and 21 patients [72.4 %] underwent CABG without any homologous blood transfusion. Our early result of coronary bypass grafting was comparable to that which was reported in other coronary surgery units.

This study was carried out to see dietary intakes of patients with coronary heart disease since we don't understand their dietary patterns even though the mortality and prevalence rate of coronary hear disease are increasing in this country. We studied 75 coronary heart disease patients and 150 randomly selected controls, matched for age, sex, height and weight, in a population based study. All subjects completed a questionnaire that included disease history, diagnosis time, current treatment, etc., a 24 hour dietary recall, and measurement of height and weight. Compared to controls, patients had less likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarette (p＜0.05). The energy intake of patients was significantly lower than that of controls, but the intakes of fiber, $\beta$-carotene, sodium, folate, vitamin C, potassium in male patients and those of vitamin C and sodium in female patients were significantly higher than those of controls (p＜0.05). Mean adequacy ratio and dietary variety score of patients were also higher than those of controls (p＜0.05). Patient group's consumed less cereals than controls, but more vegetables, milk products, and nuts in male patients and fruits, beans and seasonings in female patients compared to controls'. There were not significant differences of lipid compositions between two groups, except linolenic acid. These data suggest that patients with coronary heart disease in Korea had better dietary nutrient intakes compared to healthy controls, which might be helpful to prevent recurrence of coronary heart disease.
