Abstract
BACKGROUND
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the primary treatment for coronary artery disease. However, while PCI effectively addresses severe stenosis or occlusive lesions in target vessels, the progression of non-target vessel plaque remains a critical determinant of long-term patient prognosis.
AIMS
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of non-target vascular plaque progression on prognosis after PCI for ISR.
METHODS
This study included 195 patients diagnosed with ISR and multivessel disease who underwent successful PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) placement, along with intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment of the culprit stent. Subsequent rechecked coronary angiography categorized eligible patients into non-target lesion progression (N-TLP) and no-N-TLP groups. We evaluated the baseline morphological characteristics of N-TLP by OCT and investigated the relationship between N-TLP, non-culprit vessel-related major adverse cardiovascular events (NCV-MACE), and pan-vascular disease-related clinical events (PVD-CE) incidence.
RESULTS
Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus (OR 3.616, 95% CI: 1.735-7.537; P = 0.001), uric acid level (OR 1.005, 95% CI: 1.001-1.009; P = 0.006), in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) (OR 1.334, 95% CI: 1.114-1.985; P = 0.047) and heterogeneous neointima morphology (OR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.18-5.43; P = 0.019) were independent predictors for N-TLP. Furthermore, N-TLP was associated with a high incidence of NCV-MACE (19.4% vs 6.9%, P = 0.009) and PVD-CE (83.9% [95% CI: 79.7%-88.3%] vs 93.1% [95% CI: 88.4%-98.0%], P = 0.038) after PCI in ISR patients.
CONCLUSION
Diabetes, uric acid levels, ISNA, and heterogeneous neointima are predictive factors for subsequent rapid plaque progression, with N-TLP exacerbating the incidence of NCV-MACE and PVD-CE after PCI.
