Abstract
Objectives
This study evaluates clinical outcomes after implementing a liberal post-dilatation strategy during PCI.
Background
Post-dilatation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed to achieve optimal stent expansion and reduce complications. However, its prognostic effects are unclear and conflicting.
Methods
This study is a pre-post-intervention analysis of two cohorts, before (2015-2017) and after (2018-2020) implementation of a liberal post-dilatation strategy. The primary end point consisted of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 30 days. Secondary end points consisted of the individual components of the primary end point as well as 1 year mortality and target vessel revascularization.
Results
A total of 10,153 patients were included: 5,383 in the pre-cohort and 4,770 in the post-cohort. The 30-day MACE was 5.00% in the pre-cohort and 4.09% in the post-cohort (p = 0.008; OR 0.75 (CI 0.61-0.93)). There was a significant difference between the pre- and post-cohort in 30-day mortality, respectively, 2.91% and 2.25% (p = .01; OR 0.70 (CI 0.53-0.93)), and MI at 30 days, 1.17% versus 0.59% (p = .003; OR 0.49 (CI 0.31-0.78)). At 1 year, there was a significant difference in mortality between the pre-cohort, 5.84%, and post-cohort, 5.19% (p = .02; OR 0.79 (CI 0.66-0.96)).
Conclusions
A liberal post-dilatation strategy after PCI was associated with a significant decrease in 30-day MACE, 30-day MI, 30-day mortality, and 1-year mortality. Future studies are warranted to validate the causality between post-dilatation and improvement of clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Cardiology (International Edition, ISSN 1109-9666) is the official journal of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology and aims to publish high-quality articles on all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. A primary goal is to publish in each issue a number of original articles related to clinical and basic research. Many of these will be accompanied by invited editorial comments.
Hot topics, such as molecular cardiology, and innovative cardiac imaging and electrophysiological mapping techniques, will appear frequently in the journal in the form of invited expert articles or special reports. The Editorial Committee also attaches great importance to subjects related to continuing medical education, the implementation of guidelines and cost effectiveness in cardiology.
