Relation of percutaneous coronary intervention of complex lesions to clinical outcomes (from the NHLBI Dynamic Registry)
摘要
Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have reduced complications but expanded indications. We used the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Insitute Dynamic Registry to determine clinical outcomes up to 1 year after PCI in 2,839 patients with at least 1 treated complex lesion (defined as a lesion showing evidence of thrombus, calcification, bifurcation or ostial location, or chronic occlusion) and 1,790 patients with only simple lesions treated. Complex lesion interventions were associated (p <0.05) with more sustained major dissections, distal embolization, side branch occlusion, and persistent flow reduction. Patients with treated complex lesions had a lower procedural success rate (93.8%vs 97.3%, p <0.001) and increased in-hospital rates (p <0.001) of death (2.0%vs 0.6%), death/myocardial infarction [MI] (5.2%vs 2.4%), or death/MI/coronary artery bypass graft [CABG] surgery (6.5%vs 2.9%). After adjustment for potential confounders, patients treated for multiple complex lesions were more likely to experience the in-hospital combined end points of death/MI (odds ratio 3.22, 95%confidence interval 2.10 to 4.92), or death/MI/CABG (odds ratio 2.55, 95%confidence interval 1.71 to 3.80). At 1 year, patients with treated complex lesions were more likely (p <0.001) to die (6.2%vs 3.7%), suffer death/MI (11.7%vs 7.5%), or death/MI/CABG/repeat PCI (27.2%vs 23.4%). Patients treated for multiple complex lesions were approximately 50%more likely to die or to have major adverse events than with patients only treated for simple lesions. An increased in-hospital adverse clinical event rate was independently noted for thrombotic, bifurcation, and calcified lesions, and bifurcation lesions had worse long-term event rates.
