This study determined the long-term effect of moderate renal insufficiency on death and major adverse cardiac events （MACE） after stent based PCI and examined whether drug-eluting stent implantation could favourably influence clinical outcome. Methods Major adverse cardiac events and causes of mortality were determined for 1012 patients undergoing percutaneous intervention from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2004 at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. Based on estimated creatinine clearance levels, long term outcomes were compared between patients with estimated creatinine clearance 〈60 ml/min （renal insufficiency group; n=410） and those with estimated creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min （control group; n=602）. Subgroup analysis was also made for patients with renal insufficiency between drug eluting stent （n=264） and bare metal stent implantation （n=146） during PCI. Results During follow-up （average 17 months） after successful PCI, all causes of death （7.1% vs 2.3%, P〈0.01） and cardiac death （3.4% vs 1.0%, all P〈0.01） were significantly higher in renal insufficiency group than in control group. For patients with moderate renal insufficiency, drug-eluting stent implantation reduced significantly all causes of death （5.3% vs 10.9%, P〈0.05） and occurrence of major cardiac adverse events （15.1% vs 24.6%, P〈0.05） compared with bare metal stents. Conclusions Moderate renal insufficiency is an important clinical factor influencing the mortality after PCI in patients with coronary artery disease and the use of drug-eluting stents should be the preferred therapy for the improvement of long-term outcomes in such patients.展开更多

Little is known about the comparative effects between DES and bare metal stents （BMS） for bifurcation angioplasty in the Chinese population. We compared the inpatient and 7-month follow-up outcomes between DES and BMS for the treatment of bifurcation lesions. Methods From April 2004 to October 2005, 291 Chinese patients [85.9% male, mean age （57.8± 10.4） years] underwent DES （387 lesions） and/or BMS （297 lesions） implantation for bifurcation lesions. Clinical and angiographic follow-up was performed at 7 months. Results Compared with BMS group, patients in DES group had significantly lower rates of restenosis at main branch （9.5% vs 28.7%, P 〈 0.001） or side branch （14.5% vs 37.0%, P 〈 0.001） and major adverse cardiac events （MACE） （14.0% vs 26.3%, P = 0.000）. The occurrence rate of late in-stent thrombosis did not differ between the two groups in both main （0.8% vs 0, P = 0.224） and side branches （1.4% vs 0, P =0.198）. Target lesion revascularization （TLR） was less frequent in DES group for main branch （8.3% vs 21.3%, P 〈 0.001） and for side branch （7.6% vs 23.5%, P 〈 0.001）. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that total stent length （OR = 1.029, P = 0.01）, postprocedural in-stent minimum lumen diameter （OR = 0.476, P = 0.03） and stent type （OR = 3.988, P = 0.0001） were independent predictors of TLR for main branch. Prior history of coronary intervention （OR = 2.424, P =0.041）, angulated lesion （OR = 2.337, P = 0.033）, postdilation （OR = 0.267, P = 0.035） and stent type （DES vs BMS, OR = 5.459, P = 0.000） were independent predictors of TLR for side branch.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of DES implantation for CTO compared with bare-metal stent （BMS） implantation.Methods Between June 1995 and December 2006, a total of 1184 patients with successful recanalization of at least one de novo CTO lesion were consecutively registered, including 660 （55.7%） who underwent DES and 524 （44.3%） who underwent BMS implantation. All patients were followed up for up to 5 years for occurrence of major adverse cardiac events （MACE）. Long-term survival rates were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method.Results Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were comparable between the two groups except that patients in the DES group received longer dual antiplatelet therapy （（7.4±2.5） months vs （1.7±0.8） months, P 〈0.001）. Average follow-up periods were （4.7±0.89） and （3.2±1.3） years for the BMS and DES groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rates between the two groups （90.3% for DES group vs 89.6% for BMS group, Log-rank P=0.38）, but the 5-year target vessel revascularization （TVR）-free survival rate in the DES group was significantly higher than that in the BMS group （81.6% vs 73.5%, Log-rank P 〈0.001）. The cumulative MACE-free survival in the DES group was also significantly higher than that in the BMS group （80.6% vs 71.5%, Log-rank P〈0.001）. The rates of readmission caused by cardiovascular disease （27.0% vs 37.8%, P 〈0.001） and the need for bypass surgery were significantly lower in the DES group （1.5% vs 3.4%, P 〈0.05）. By multivariable analysis, DES implantation could significantly lower the long-term MACE risk of PCI for CTO patients （HR： 0.492; 95% Cl 0.396-0.656, P 〈0.001）.

Methods Lesions with diameter of side branch ≥2.5 mm were selected. From October 2003 to June 2005, 112 patients with 113 bifurcation lesions were treated by two drug eluting stents （DESs）, technique. The location of bifurcation lesions were left anterior descending coronary artery/diagonal in 62 patients, left main distal bifurcation in 32, left circumflex coronary artery/obtute marginal branch in 18 and right coronary artery distal bifurcation in 1. Procedures for bifurcation lesions were crush or modified crush technique in 64, ＂T＂ stenting technique in 27, modified ＂Y＂ stenting, kiss stenting, ＂V＂ stenting as well as culotte stenting technique in 11, 5, 3 and 3, respectively. Among 226 lesions, 91 Cypher or Cypher select stents, 74 TAXUS and 67 Firebird were used. Final kiss balloon dilation was performed in 60 （93.7%） with crush technique after stenting. Results Success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for the bifurcation lesions was 100%. One patient, who developed inhospital acute myocardial infarction due to subacute thrombosis, was successfully treated by a second intervention. Major adverse cardiac events rate in-hospital was 0.89% （1/112） and during followup was 7.14% （8/112）, No death occurred during the followup of all patients. Angiographic followup was effected for 46 patients, restenosis for eight, coronary artery bypass grafting for 1 and a repeat intervention for 5. Restenosis involving TAXUS, Cypher and Firebird was 5 （5/18, 27.8%）, 2 （2/17, 11.8%） and 1 （1/11, 9.1%）, respectively （P〉0.05）. Total restenotic rate was 17.4% （8/46）. Conclusions When ostium of side branch has severe stenosis and 〉12.5 mm in diameter, two-stent strategy in this bifurcation lesion is safe and effective, and the outcomes are satisfactory. Restenotic rates were not different between TAXUS, Cypher and F展开更多
