Background: The following registry (Katowice-Zabrze retrospective registry) aimed to assess the influence of a chronic kidney disease (CKD) on long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using either first-generation (DES-I) or second-generation (DES-II) drug-eluting stents. Methods: The study group consisted of 1,908 consecutive patients, of whom 331 (17.3%) had CKD. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of <60 mL/min/m2. We evaluated the major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE), i.e., the composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and target vessel revascularization at the 12-month follow-up. Results: CKD patients had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction and more often a history of MI and PCI. Coronary angiography revealed that multivessel coronary artery disease, intracoronary thrombus, and extensive calcifications were more frequent in patients with CKD. However, the SYNTAX score did not vary between patients with or without CKD. There was a higher rate of in-hospital bleedings requiring blood transfusion in patients with CKD. At the 1-year follow-up, MACCE (17.8 vs. 12.6%, HR = 1.46 [95% CI 1.05-2.03], p = 0.009) and death (8.4 vs. 2.3%, HR = 3.9 [95% CI 2.0-7.5], p < 0.001) were more often observed in CKD patients. Multivariable Cox analysis revealed that CKD was an independent risk predictor of death after PCI at the 1-year follow-up (HR = 2.1 [95% CI 1.2-3.6], p = 0.004). In comparison to DES-I, the use of DES-II did not decrease the adverse effect of CKD on MACCE. Conclusion: CKD patients had an increased risk of in-hospital bleeding requiring blood transfusion and a higher risk of MACCE and death at the 12-month follow-up. The use of second-generation DES did not improve clinical outcomes in patients with CKD at the 12-month follow-up.

Background Premature discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention is related to higher short‐term risks of adverse outcomes. Whether these risks persist in the long‐term is uncertain. Methods and Results We assessed all patients having percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary second‐ or first‐generation drug‐eluting stents in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system between 2006 and 2012 who were free of major ischemic or bleeding events in the first 12 months. The characteristics of patients who stopped DAPT prematurely (1–9 months duration), compared with >9 to 12 months, or extended duration (>12 months) were assessed by odds ratios (ORs) from multivariable logistic models. The risk of adverse clinical outcomes over a mean 5.1 years in patients who stopped DAPT prematurely was assessed by hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs from Cox regression models. A total of 14 239 had second‐generation drug‐eluting stents, and 8583 had first‐generation drug‐eluting stents. Premature discontinuation of DAPT was more likely in Black patients (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.40–1.68), patients with greater frailty (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.03–1.05), and patients with higher low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and less likely in patients on statins (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80–0.95). Patients who stopped DAPT prematurely had higher long‐term risks of death (second‐generation drug‐eluting stents: HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.19–1.56), myocardial infarction (second‐generation drug‐eluting stents: HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.22–1.74), and repeated coronary revascularization (second‐generation drug‐eluting stents: HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.08–1.41). Conclusions Patients who stop DAPT prematurely have features that reflect greater frailty, poorer medication use, and other social factors. They continue to have higher risks of major adverse outcomes over the long‐term and may require more intensive surveillance many years after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract Background Invasive angiography with subsequent revascularization is a widely used treatment method in patients with coronary heart disease. Although biodegradable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DES) have been used for almost a decade now, clinical trials regarding their long-term outcomes are both sparse and inconsistent. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with BP-DES versus durable polymer drug eluting stents (DP-DES). Methods Among 11,517 PCIs with second generation drug eluting stents preformed in our institution between 2007 and 2019, we identified 8042 procedures performed using DP-DES and 3475 using BP-DES. The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction (re-MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Propensity score matching was used to create a well-balanced cohort. Results Mean follow up was 4.8 years. Of the 3,413 matched pairs, 21% were females, and the mean age was 66. At one year, the primary outcome occurred in 9.6% patients versus 8.3% (p=0.05), and TVR rate was 4.1% versus 3% (p=0.005) in patients with DP-DES and BP-DES respectively. Within 5 years, the primary outcome occurred in in 24.9% versus 24.8% (p=0.83), and the rate of TVR was 9.8% versus 9.1% (p=0.07) in patients with DP-DES and BP-DES respectively. Conclusions Similar rates of the composite outcome were observed throughout the entire follow-up. TVR rates were lower in the DP-DES group at 1-year but equalized within 5 years.
