Impact of Polyvascular Disease in Patients Undergoing Unprotected Left Main Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Am J Cardiol 2024; 222:113-120. [PMID: 38697455 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2024.04.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has demonstrated its safety and efficacy in treating left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) in select patients. Polyvascular disease (PolyVD) is associated with adverse events in all-comers with CAD. However, there is little data examining the interplay between PolyVD and LM-PCI, which we sought to investigate in a retrospective single-center study. We included patients who underwent unprotected LM-PCI at a tertiary center from 2012 to 2019. The study population was stratified based on the presence or absence of PolyVD (i.e., medical history of cerebrovascular and/or peripheral artery disease in addition to LM-CAD). The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) combining all-cause mortality and spontaneous myocardial infarction within 1 year after index PCI. Overall, 869 patients were included, and 23.8% of the population had PolyVD. Subjects with PolyVD were older and had a greater burden of co-morbidities. After 1-year follow-up, PolyVD patients exhibited significantly higher rates of both MACE (22.8% vs 9.4%, p <0.001) and bleeding events compared with those without PolyVD. MACE was primarily driven by an increase in all-cause mortality (18.3% vs 7.1%, p <0.001). Results persisted after adjusting for confounders. In conclusion, in patients who underwent LM-PCI, the presence of PolyVD is linked to an increased risk of MACE and bleeding after 1 year of follow-up, which highlights the vulnerability of this population.

Prognostic Impact of Previous Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease on Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Infarction. Am J Cardiol 2024; 217:18-24. [PMID: 38402922 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2024.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
Patients with previous atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are typically managed by secondary prevention modalities; however, they may experience recurrent events. In acute myocardial infarction (MI), the prognostic effect of preexisting ASCVD on the short- and long-term outcomes remains uncertain. This retrospective, multicenter registry included 2,475 patients with acute MI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Previous ASCVD was defined as a history of ischemic events in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arterial territories. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to preexisting ASCVD. The primary end point was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, recurrent MI, and ischemic stroke during hospitalization and after discharge. The bleeding outcomes were also evaluated. Of the 2,475 patients, 475 (19.2%) had previous ASCVD. Patients with previous ASCVD were older and likely to have more co-morbidities than those without ASCVD. During hospitalization, the MACE rates were higher in the ASCVD group than in the non-ASCVD group (16.4% vs 9.6%, p <0.001). Similarly, during a median follow-up of 542 days after discharge, patients with previous ASCVD had an increased risk of MACEs than those without ASCVD (13.4% vs 5.6%, p <0.001). The multivariable analyses identified previous ASCVD as a factor that was significantly associated with MACEs after discharge. Major bleeding events occurred more frequently in the ASCVD group than in the non-ASCVD group. In conclusion, preexisting ASCVD was often observed in patients with acute MI and was particularly associated with long-term ischemic outcomes after discharge; thus, further clinical investigations are needed in this vulnerable patient subset.

Defining Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Complexity and Risk: An Analysis of the United Kingdom BCIS Database 2006-2016. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 15:39-49. [PMID: 34991822 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2021.09.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors used the BCIS (British Cardiovascular Intervention Society) database to define the factors associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedural complexity. BACKGROUND Complex high-risk indicated percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP-PCI) is an emerging concept that is poorly defined. METHODS The BCIS (British Cardiovascular Intervention Society) database was used to study all PCI procedures in the United Kingdom 2006-2016. A multiple logistic regression model was developed to identify variables associated with in-hospital major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and to construct a CHIP score. The cumulative effect of this score on patient outcomes was examined. RESULTS A total of 313,054 patients were included. Seven patient factors (age ≥80 years, female sex, previous stroke, previous myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, ejection fraction <30%, and chronic renal disease) and 6 procedural factors (rotational atherectomy, left main PCI, 3-vessel PCI, dual arterial access, left ventricular mechanical support, and total lesion length >60 mm) were associated with increased in-hospital MACCE and defined as CHIP factors. The mean CHIP score/case for all PCIs increased significantly from 1.06 ± 1.32 in 2006 to 1.49 ± 1.58 in 2016 (P < 0.001 for trend). A CHIP score of 5 or more was present in 2.5% of procedures in 2006 increasing to 5.3% in 2016 (P < 0.001 for trend). Overall in-hospital MACCE was 0.6% when the CHIP score was 0 compared with 1.2% with any CHIP factor present (P < 0.001). As the CHIP score increased, an exponential increase in-hospital MACCE was observed. The cumulative MACCE for procedures associated with a CHIP score 4+ or above was 3.2%, and for a CHIP score 5+ was 4.4%. All other adverse clinical outcomes were more likely as the CHIP score increased. CONCLUSIONS Seven patient factors and 6 procedural factors were associated with adverse in-hospital MACCE and defined as CHIP factors. Use of a CHIP score might be a future target for risk modification.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the impact of established cardiovascular disease (CVD) on 10-year all-cause death following coronary revascularization in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The SYNTAXES study assessed vital status out to 10 years of patients with complex CAD enrolled in the SYNTAX trial. The relative efficacy of PCI versus CABG in terms of 10-year all-cause death was assessed according to co-existing CVD. RESULTS Established CVD status was recorded in 1771 (98.3%) patients, of whom 827 (46.7%) had established CVD. Compared to those without CVD, patients with CVD had a significantly higher risk of 10-year all-cause death (31.4% vs. 21.7%; adjusted HR: 1.40; 95% CI 1.08-1.80, p = 0.010). In patients with CVD, PCI had a non-significant numerically higher risk of 10-year all-cause death compared with CABG (35.9% vs. 27.2%; adjusted HR: 1.14; 95% CI 0.83-1.58, p = 0.412). The relative treatment effects of PCI versus CABG on 10-year all-cause death in patients with complex CAD were similar irrespective of the presence of CVD (p-interaction = 0.986). Only those patients with CVD in ≥ 2 territories had a higher risk of 10-year all-cause death (adjusted HR: 2.99, 95% CI 2.11-4.23, p < 0.001) compared to those without CVD. CONCLUSIONS The presence of CVD involving more than one territory was associated with a significantly increased risk of 10-year all-cause death, which was non-significantly higher in complex CAD patients treated with PCI compared with CABG. Acceptable long-term outcomes were observed, suggesting that patients with established CVD should not be precluded from undergoing invasive angiography or revascularization.

Aspirin-free antiplatelet regimens after PCI: insights from the GLOBAL LEADERS trial and beyond. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. CARDIOVASCULAR PHARMACOTHERAPY 2021; 7:547-556.

Abstract
Historically, aspirin has been the primary treatment for the prevention of ischaemic events in patients with coronary artery disease. For patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) standard treatment has been 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel, followed by aspirin monotherapy; however, DAPT is undeniably associated with an increased risk of bleeding. For over a decade novel P2Y12 inhibitors, which have increased specificity, potency, and efficacy have been available, prompting studies which have tested whether these newer agents can be used in aspirin-free antiplatelet regimens to augment clinical benefits in patients post-PCI. Among these studies, the GLOBAL LEADERS trial is the largest by cohort size, and so far has provided a wealth of evidence in a variety of clinical settings and patient groups. This article summarizes the state-of-the-art evidence obtained from the GLOBAL LEADERS and other trials of aspirin-free strategies.

Abstract
Ischemic and bleeding events portend equivalently poor prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Risk factors for these untoward events largely overlap limiting the "decoupling" of bleeding and ischemic risk. While individual patient risk scores inform the duration of guideline recommended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to strike the optimal balance between ischemic and bleeding risk, a promising additional approach is to tailor the regimens themselves. In higher risk patients, 1 month of aspirin plus ticagrelor followed by 23 months of ticagrelor monotherapy has equivalent bleeding and numerically improved ischemic risk than standard DAPT for 12 months followed by aspirin monotherapy in the GLOBAL LEADERS trial. In the TWILIGHT study of high ischemic and bleeding risk patients, 12 months of ticagrelor monotherapy had lower bleeding risk with equivalent ischemic risk as DAPT after 3 months of successful DAPT. Individual risk scores should be developed informing both optimal antiplatelet regimen such as ticagrelor monotherapy and treatment duration after PCI.
