BACKGROUND: Bleeding is a common and costly complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Little is known about the risk factors for bleeding complications. Objective: To report our PCI-related observations from a single institution and use the information to establish risk factors for short-term bleeding complications, with special focus on examining the importance of renal function. METHODS: A retrospective record review was conducted of the admission of 300 patients grouped according to antithrombotic regimen: unfractionated heparin alone (n = 187), bivalirudin (n = 26), and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist plus heparin (n = 103). Bleeding and ischemic outcomes were tracked. A model was constructed to predict independent bleeding risk factors. RESULTS: Treatment groups differed significantly regarding any bleeding (p = 0.001), minor bleeding (p < 0.001), and length of stay (p = 0.01). Multivariate predictors of any bleeding included antithrombotic regimen, creatinine clearance (Clcr) <30 mL/min, and hypertension. Any bleeding was associated with prolonged length of stay. Major bleeding was predicted by Clcr <30 mL/min and was associated with prolonged length of stay and death. Minor bleeding was predicted only by choice of antithrombotic regimen. CONCLUSIONS: The major influences on bleeding risk appeared to be Clcr <30 mL/min and choice of antithrombotic regimen. It is important to note that other markers of renal function, including serum creatinine value and serum creatinine at a cutoff level of 1.5 mg/dL, did not predict bleeding events.

Background: Transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI) has been increasingly used in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. While there are few studies examining the costs and benefits of transradial vs. transfemoral (TFI) in experienced centers among highly selected patients, treatment patterns and cost data obtained from the United States and European countries might not be generalizable to the developing world. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing PCI in the largest heart center in China between January and December 2010. Propensity score inverse probability weighting (IPW) method was used to compare costs and in-hospital outcomes between TRI and TFI, while controlling for potential treatment selection inherent in observational research. Results: Of 5,307patients undergoing PCI, 4,684 (88.3%) received TRI. Those undergoing TRI were younger, were less likely to be female, less likely to have prior myocardial infarction, PCI, or CABG, and more often presented with STEMI. After IPW adjustment, TRI was associated with fewer bleeding complications (BARC≥3 0.7% vs. 2.2%, OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.18-0.68), major adverse cardiovascular event (a composite of death, myocardial infarction, BARC bleeding≥3 or unplanned revascularization; 1.8% vs. 4.0%, OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.31-0.79), and shorter length of stay (6.1 vs 8.3 days, adjusted difference -1.5 days, 95% CI -1.9 to -1.2; Table ). TRI was associated with a cost saving of $1,261 (95% CI $967-$1,557) as compared with TFI. The cost saving was mainly driven by reduced procedural-related cost ($761) from differential use of vascular closure device and lower hospitalization cost ($217) related to shorter length of stay. Similar results were found in clinically relevant groups of myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI), acute coronary syndrome (STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina), and stable angina. Conclusions: Compared with the TFI approach, TRI was associated with fewer complications, shorter length of stay, lower costs, and improved in-hospital outcomes.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The prognostic significance of follow-up (f/u) renal function for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unknown. This study sought to investigate the prognostic implications of f/u renal function in patients undergoing PCI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A drug-eluting stent registry was used. We divided patients into 4 groups according to the change in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before PCI and 3–6 months after PCI. Patients with normal pre-PCI eGFR and f/u eGFR were assigned to group 1. Those with normal pre-PCI eGFR and abnormal f/u eGFR were assigned to group 2. Patients with abnormal pre-PCI eGFR and normal f/u eGFR were assigned to group 3. Patients with abnormal pre-PCI eGFR and f/u eGFR were allocated into group 4. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 4,899 PCI patients were enrolled. The death rate in group 1, 2, 3, and 4 at 3 years was 2, 11, 4, and 9%, respectively. This showed significant differences between groups, except between groups 2 and 4. The prognosis of a group with aggravation from normal renal function was worse than that of a group with recovery from abnormal renal function. A prediction model that combines clinical risk factors and f/u eGFR has more power for predicting clinical outcomes than a combination of clinical risk factors and pre-PCI eGFR. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Post-PCI eGFR was more accurate for predicting patient outcomes than pre-PCI eGFR.

The optimal strategy of antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention remains to be a question to be answered. The major challenge in such population is the balance between the benefit of reduced stroke and coronary ischemic events, against the risk of increased bleeding complications. Thus, both thrombotic and bleeding risk assessments should be included into clinical decision-making process for such patients. Currently, there is limited evidence based on randomized trials with adequate power to show the superiority of any strategy in the beneficial profile of safety and efficacy, thus limited recommendations are provided by clinical guidelines. Given the recent advancement in this field, our review provided an overview of the available risk stratification schemes for stroke and bleeding risk for AF patients, discussed the multiple questions in the optimal regimens of oral antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy, and summarized evidence and recommendations related to long-term antithrombotic therapy for AF patients receiving stent implications.
