PCI for Chronic Total Occlusions with Distal Diffuse Disease: Stent Alone vs. Stent plus Drug Balloon
Background
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries is a significant challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Despite successful revascularization, patients often develop diffuse coronary lesions, increasing the risk of restenosis and necessitating complex stent strategies.
Objective
This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of drug-eluting stents (DES) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus DES-only treatment in patients with revascularized CTO and diffuse coronary artery disease.
Methods
Patients with successfully revascularized CTO and diffuse lesions were divided into DES-only (n = 191) and DES plus DCB (n = 100) groups. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, cardiac death, stroke, and revascularization. The secondary endpoint was the rate of cardiovascular-related hospitalization. Symptom improvement was evaluated using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) classification.
Results
At 24-month follow-up, the DES plus DCB group had significantly lower MACE incidence (26.00 % vs. 41.36 %, P = 0.008) and cardiovascular-related hospitalization (20.00 % vs. 36.65 %, P = 0.005) compared to the DES-only group. CCS classification improved more significantly in the DES plus DCB group (P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression identified DES plus DCB as an independent protective factor against MACE (HR, 0.57; 95 % CI, 0.33–0.99; P = 0.046).
Conclusion
In patients with revascularized CTO and diffuse coronary artery disease, the combined DES plus DCB strategy was associated with a lower incidence of MACE and reduced cardiovascular-related hospitalization compared to DES-only treatment. This approach may represent a superior therapeutic option for managing complex coronary lesions.
期刊介绍:
IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
