Abstract
Background: Long-term outcomes in patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-eluting stent are unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate long-term adverse events in HBR patients undergoing PCI with cobalt-chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stent implantation. Methods: We analyzed stratified data from four all-comers post-approval registries. Patients with at least one of the following criteria were categorized as HBR: age ≥75 years, history of major bleeding (MB), history of stroke, chronic oral anticoagulant use, chronic kidney disease (CKD), anemia, or thrombocytopenia. Additionally, in a separate analysis, patients were categorized according to the recently published Academic Research Consortium (ARC) HBR criteria. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for time-to-event analyses. Coronary thrombotic events (CTE) included myocardial infarction or definite/probable stent thrombosis. MB was defined according to the TIMI or GUSTO scales. Impact of CTE and MB on subsequent risk of mortality was assessed using multivariable Cox regression with MB and CTE included as time-updated covariates. Results: Of the total 10,502 patients included, 3,507 (33%) were identified as HBR. Compared to non-HBR patients, those at HBR had more comorbidities, higher lesion complexity and a higher risk of 4-year mortality (HR 4.38, 95% CI 3.76-5.11). Results were qualitatively similar when using ARC criteria to define HBR. Risk of mortality was increased after CTE (HR 5.02, 95% CI 3.93-6.41), as well as after MB (HR 4.92, 95% CI 3.82-6.35). Of note, this effect was consistent across the spectrum of bleeding risk (p-interaction test 0.97 and 0.06, respectively). Conclusions: Compared to the non-HBR population, HBR patients experienced worse 4-year outcomes after PCI with CoCr everolimus-eluting stent. Both CTE and MB had a significant impact on subsequent risk of mortality irrespective of bleeding risk.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
