Abstract
Background
The optimal strategy during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of aneurysmatic right coronary artery (ARCA) remains uncertain and has never been tested in the acute setting.
Objectives
To compare the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of immediate and staged PCI strategies for ARCA as culprit lesions during acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods
Among 102.376 PCIs performed in 18 European centers, a total of 85 patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome undergoing ARCA PCI were finally included in the analysis. PCI strategy (stenting performed during the immediate vs staged procedure) and pharmacological approach adopted were collected. The primary outcome was procedural success (technical success without in-hospital MACE).
Results
The primary outcome occurred in 48.2 % of cases, with no significant differences observed between the immediate and staged PCI groups (50.9 % vs 43.3 %, p = 0.504). Patients in the staged-PCI group had a significantly higher rate of intravenous anticoagulant use (83.3 % vs 48.1 %, p = 0.002), BARC type 3 and 5 bleedings (12.9 % vs 1.9 %, p = 0.037), and longer in-hospital stay (7.40 ± 5.11 vs 9.5 ± 5.25 days, p = 0.049). After multivariate analysis, no independent predictors for procedural success were found in either group. Target lesion failure occurred in 24.1 % of cases without differences between groups at a median follow-up of three years.
Conclusions
Among patients undergoing ARCA PCI in the setting of ACS, immediate or staged PCI were associated with similar in-hospital and long-term outcomes. However, staged PCI was associated with a higher risk of major bleeding events and longer length of stay compared to immediate PCI strategy.
