Abstract
Background: Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are increasingly adopted in percutaneous coronary intervention. Bail-out drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation due to suboptimal immediate results after DCB angioplasty is not infrequent, and the clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention with DCB angioplasty followed by bail-out DES implantation remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of bail-out DES implantation following DCB angioplasty in percutaneous coronary intervention.
Methods: The BAILOUT registry included consecutive patients undergoing bail-out DES implantation after DCB angioplasty at 17 European centers between 2011 and 2024. The primary end point was target lesion failure (TLF) at 1 year, defined as the composite of target lesion revascularization, target vessel myocardial infarction, and cardiac death. The TLF rate was compared with a performance goal of 7.0% for an upfront DES-only strategy, derived from a meta-analysis of contemporary randomized controlled trials.
Results: A total of 733 patients were included, accounting for 5.5% of all DCB-based percutaneous coronary interventions. At 1 year, the cumulative TLF incidence in the overall population was 7.0% (95% CI, 5.2%-9.3%), which was comparable to the performance goal (P=0.916). This was mainly driven by target lesion revascularization (4.1%), while cardiac death and target vessel myocardial infarction occurred both in 1.9% of patients. The incidence of stent thrombosis was 0.6%. Independent predictors of 1-year TLF included lesion length (hazard ratio, 1.02 per mm increase [95% CI, 1.01-1.03]; P<0.001), moderate-to-severe calcification (hazard ratio, 2.82 [95% CI, 1.48-5.40]; P=0.002), and the use of paclitaxel- versus sirolimus-coated balloons (hazard ratio, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.01-4.05]; P=0.048).
Conclusions: In cases of suboptimal angiographic results after DCB angioplasty, bail-out DES implantation is safe, with no increased risk of TLF at 1 year compared with the expected performance goal for an upfront DES-only strategy.
期刊介绍:
Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, an American Heart Association journal, focuses on interventional techniques pertaining to coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and vascular disease, with priority placed on original research and on randomized trials and large registry studies. In addition, pharmacological, diagnostic, and pathophysiological aspects of interventional cardiology are given special attention in this online-only journal.
