PET evaluation of myocardial perfusion function after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic total occlusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract
Objective. The benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic complete coronary artery occlusion (CTO) remains controversial. PCI is currently indicated only for symptom and myocardial ischemia abolition, but large chronically occluded vessels with extensive afferent myocardial territories may benefit most from this procedure. The noninvasive evaluation of myocardial perfusion is critical before and after revascularization, and positron emission tomography (PET) can determine absolute myocardial perfusion. Here, we aimed to explore and compare myocardial perfusion in CTO territories and their remote associated areas before and after PCI. Design. We searched for relevant articles published before November 28, 2022, in the Cochrane Library and PubMed. We calculated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and standardized mean differences (SMDs) for parameters related to myocardial perfusion in CTO territories and remote areas in CTO patients before and after PCI. Results. We included five studies published between 2017 and 2022, with a total of 592 patients. Stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) was increased in CTO territories after PCI when compared to pre-PCI (mean difference [MD]: 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33-2.08, p < 0.001). Coronary flow reserve (CFR) in CTO regions was also higher after PCI (MD 1.37,95% [CI]1.13-1.61, p < 0.001). Stress MBF in remote regions was also increased after PCI (MD 0.27,95% [CI]0.99 ∼ 0.45, p = 0.004), as was CFR in remote regions (MD 0.32,95% [CI] 0.14-0.5, p = 0.001). Conclusions. According to our pooled analysis of current literature, there was an increase in stress MBF and CFR in both CTOs and remote regions after PCI, suggesting that patients with CTO have widespread recovery of blood perfusion after the procedure. These results provide evidence that patients with CTO arteries and high ischemic burdens would indeed benefit from CTO-PCI. Future research on the correlation of ischemia burden reduction with hard clinical endpoints would contribute to a clearer demarcation of the role of CTO PCI with prognostic potential.

Abstract
Objective Since patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA)/abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are often complicated with coronary artery disease, it is common for those patients to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The ankle brachial index (ABI) is usually measured in patients with TAA/AAA to screen the presence of peripheral arterial disease. The present study investigated the association between the ABI and clinical outcomes following PCI in patients with TAA/AAA. Methods We divided 200 TAA/AAA patients who underwent PCI into a normal ABI group (n=137) and an abnormal ABI group (n=63) according to the ABI cut-off level of 1.00. The primary endpoint was one-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fetal myocardial infarction, stroke, target vessel revascularization, and hospitalization for heart failure. Results Mean ABIs in the normal and abnormal ABI groups were 1.12±0.09 and 0.86±0.11, respectively (p<0.01). Kaplan-Meier curves showed MACE were more frequent in the abnormal ABI group than in the normal ABI group (p=0.01). A multivariate Cox hazard analysis revealed that an abnormal ABI was significantly associated with 1-year MACE (vs. ABI ≥1.0: HR 3.02, 95% confidence interval 1.00-9.08, p=0.049). Conclusion Among patients with TAA/AAA who underwent PCI, abnormal ABI was significantly associated with 1-year MACE, suggesting the utility of the ABI measurement in this high-risk population.
