Background: It is unclear whether the routine follow up (FU) coronary angiography (CAG) regardless of patient’s symptoms after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs) in patients (pts) with dyslipidemia is beneficial or not. Methods: The study population consisted of 554 consecutive dyslipidemia pts underwent PCI with unrestricted utilization of DESs from January 2004 to May 2011. Routine FU CAG was performed between 6 to 9 months following index PCI and was decided by individual physician’s discretion. Rests of the pts were clinically followed and ischemic driven events were captured. Clinical events including mortality, myocardial infarction and clinically driven PCI before 9 months were excluded in both groups. Cumulative clinical outcomes up to 3 years were compared between the Routine CAG group (n=329 pts) and the Clinical FU group (n= 225 pts). To adjust potential confounders, a propensity score matched (PSM) analysis was performed using the logistic regression model. Results: After PSM analysis, 2 propensity-matched groups (165 pairs, n = 330 pts, C-statistic=0.718) were generated and, the baseline characteristics of the two groups were balanced. At 3 years, the incidence of repeat revascularization and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) was higher in the Routine CAG group than the control group (Table). Conclusions: Despite the expected beneficial effects, routine FU CAG following index PCI with DESs in dyslipidemia pts was associated with higher incidence of repeat PCI and MACE up to 3 years.

Background The role of endothelial dysfunction in predicting angina recurrence after percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown. Design We assessed the role of peripheral endothelial dysfunction measured by reactive-hyperaemia peripheral-artery tonometry (RH-PAT) in predicting recurrence of angina after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods We enrolled consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with second-generation drug-eluting stents. RH-PAT was measured at discharge. The endpoint was repeated coronary angiography for angina recurrence and/or evidence of myocardial ischaemia at follow-up. Patients with in-stent restenosis and/or significant de novo stenosis were defined as having angina with obstructed coronary arteries (AOCA); all other patients as having angina with non-obstructed coronary arteries (ANOCA). Results Among 100 patients (mean age 66.7 ± 10.4 years, 80 (80.0%) male, median follow-up 16 (3–20) months), AOCA occurred in 14 patients (14%), ANOCA in nine patients (9%). Repeated coronary angiography occurred more frequently among patients in the lower RH-PAT index tertile compared with middle and upper tertiles (14 (41.2%) vs. 6 (18.2%) vs. 3 (9.1%), p = 0.006, respectively). ANOCA was more frequent in the lower RH-PAT index tertile compared with middle and upper tertiles. In the multivariate regression analysis, the RH-PAT index only predicted angina recurrence. The receiver operating characteristic curve of the RH-PAT index to predict the angina recurrence demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.79 (95% confidence interval: 0.69–0.89; p < 0.001), with a cut-off value of 1.705, having sensitivity 74% and specificity 70%. Conclusions Non-invasive assessment of peripheral endothelial dysfunction using RH-PAT might help in the prediction of recurrent angina after percutaneous coronary intervention, thus identifying patients who may need more intense pharmacological treatment and risk factor control.

Background: Very few studies have compared the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes between men and women among Asian population in the era of drug-eluting stents (DES). We aimed to evaluate the sex-specific disparities in a Chinese population. Methods: From June 1, 2006 to April 30, 2011, a total of 21,964 coronary artery disease patients who have undergone PCI with stents implantation were included from one single Chinese heart center. Among them, 17209 were males, and 4755 were females. The primary endpoint was defined as major cardiovascular events (MACE) during hospitalization and at 1 year follow-up, which included cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The secondary endpoint was defined as each component of MACE. Major bleeding after the procedure was recognized as the safety endpoint. Results: The rates of MACE during hospitalization and at 1 year follow-up were similar between men and women (in-hospital: 1.5% vs. 1.6%, P=0.730, at 1 year follow-up: 4.0% vs. 4.1%, P=0.589). The adjusted rates of the primary endpoint was still similar (in-hospital odds ratio [OR], 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66–1.33, at 1 year follow-up hazard ratio [HR], 1.00; 95% CI, 0.96-1.04). No significant differences were detected in each component of MACE (P all > 0.05). But major bleeding after PCI occurred more in women than in men (1.2% vs. 0.7%, P=0.002), mainly driven by the access site-related major bleeding (0.8% vs. 0.4%, P=0.002). The access site complications were also more frequent in women (2.5% vs. 1.6%, P <0.001). Conclusions: In the Chinese population with frequent use of DES, women present similar in-hospital and 1 year major outcomes compared with men. But women have higher risk of major bleeding and access site complications.
