Treatment of patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and have concomitant PADs may pose a challenge, but preferences of cardiologists regarding treatment and their views on complication risks are unknown.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>This work was a survey-based study comparing cardiologists’ views with patient-level data of PCI trials (BIO-RESORT and BIONYX).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The survey was completed by 47 of 208 (23%) invited cardiologists. A growing prevalence of PADs was observed in the trials and by 50% of the respondents. Cardiologists estimated that 22% of current PCI patients had PADs, whereas this rate was 7.3% among 6002 all-comer patients. In PADs patients, PCI procedural complication rates were estimated to be higher, which was not observed in either trial. The estimated higher 3-year rates of bleeding, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death in PCI patients with PADs were corroborated by corresponding trial data (<em>P</em> = 0.014, <em>P</em> = 0.005, and <em>P</em> < 0.001, respectively). Nevertheless, PADs affected the preferred treatment in many cardiologists, and cardiologists held disparate views on preferred coronary treatment.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Cardiologists correctly estimated the increase in PADs over time among PCI patients, but they overestimated the current prevalence. An increased risk of adverse clinical events after PCI was correctly recognized, and concomitant PADs often affected the preferred treatment.

Thus, more clinical attention and research is warranted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36924,"journal":{"name":"CJC Open","volume":"7 6","pages":"Pages 799-806"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144262917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
