Coronary artery disease is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is a risk factor for contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), a complication of cardiovascular procedures that require contrast administration (e.g., coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]). CA-AKI has a major impact on morbidity, mortality, and healthcare resource utilization. The incidence of CA-AKI is particularly high in patients with pre-existing CKD, advanced age and comorbidities that increase the likelihood of CKD. The focus of the present review is to provide a brief overview on the assessment of the risk for and prevention of CA-AKI in patients undergoing angiography and PCI, including recognition of the important patient- and procedure-related factors that may contribute to CA-AKI. Preventive and treatment strategies, the mainstay of which is volume repletion by normal saline, are briefly discussed. The main focus of the review is placed on technical details of contrast minimization techniques, including ultra-low contrast angiography and zerocontrast PCI. Operator competence in such techniques is important to ensure that procedural challenges in patients with CKD, like vessel calcification, multivessel disease and complex anatomical subsets, are effectively addressed by PCI while minimizing the risk of CA-AKI.

A new treatment for coronary artery occlusive disease is being developed in which a shunt or conduit is placed directly connecting the left ventricle with the diseased artery at a point distal to the obstruction. To aid in assessing and optimizing its benefit, a computational model of the cardiovascular system was developed and used to explore various design conditions. Simulation results indicate that in complete LAD occlusion, flow can be returned to approximately 65% of normal if the conduit resistance is equal for forward and reverse flow, increasing to 80% in the limit in which backflow resistance is infinite. Increases in flow rate produced by asymmetric flow resistance are considerably enhanced in the case of a partial LAD obstruction since the primary effect of resistance asymmetry is to prevent leakage back into the ventricle("steal") during diastole. Increased arterial compliance has little effect on net flow with a symmetric shunt, but leads to considerable augmentation when the resistance is asymmetric. These results suggest that an LV-LAD conduit will be beneficial when stenosis resistance(Rst) > 27 PRU if resistance is symmetric.

관상동맥은 체순환 동맥과 비교하여 매우 다른 유동조건을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 관상동맥의 유동조건이 다른 혈관과 비교하여 동맥경화의 생성과 발전에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 협착된 혈관 모델의 혈류역학적 전산유체해석을 통해 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 협착된 관상동맥 모델의 유동장과 벽면전단응력의 분포는 복부 대동맥 및 고동맥과 비교하여 큰 차이점을 보였다. 관상동맥은 혈관 지름이 혈류량에 비해 상대적으로 작으므로 큰 벽면전단응력값을 보이는 반면에, 혈관 협착부 목 후방부에 하나의 보텍스만 보이는 단순한 유동장 분포를 보였다. 한편, 복부대동맥과 고동맥 모델은 협착부 목 전반부와 후방부에 여러 개의 보텍스를 나타내는 복잡한 유동장을 형성하였다. 관상동맥 모델에서는 임피던스 페이즈앵글이 음의 큰 값을 가질 때에 벽면전단응력의 크기가 증가하고 재순환영역이 증가함이 관찰되었다. 그러므로 심장의 수축운동과 -110。에 이르는 관상동맥의 큰 음의 임피던스 페이즈앵글 값은 동맥경화를 촉진시키는 유동환경을 조성함을 알 수 있었다.

Background and Objectives: Feasibility of coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via left snuffbox approach is still concerned. We aimed to investigate efficacy and safety of the left snuffbox approach for CAG and PCI. Methods: Left snuffbox approach was tried in 150 patients who planned to perform CAG or PCI for suspected myocardial ischemia between 1 November 2017 and 31 March 2018. Results: Success rate of radial artery (RA) cannulation via snuffbox approach was 88.0% (n=132). Among 132 individuals, 58 (43.9%) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients were included. The diameter of snuffbox RA was significantly smaller than conventional RA (2.57 mm vs. 2.72 mm, p<0.001) from quantitative computed angiography of 101 patients. However, CAG via snuffbox approach by 6 French sheath was successfully performed in all 132 patients. In addition, there was significant correlation between the snuffbox and conventional RA diameter (r=0.856, p<0.001). In 42 PCI cases, including 25 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the success rate of PCI via snuffbox approach was 97.6% (n=41). Intravascular imaging-guided PCI was performed in 8 (19.5%) patients and multi-vessel PCI in 4 (9.8%) cases. Regarding vascular complication, forearm swelling with bruising, not requiring surgery or transfusion, occurred in 2 (4.9%) PCI cases. Conclusions: Left snuffbox approach is suitable for CAG and PCI compared with the conventional radial approach.
