While the current armamentarium of antithrombotic agents used in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has led to decreased mortality, re-infarction and recurrent ischaemia rates, there are also increasing rates of major bleeding events with the use of more potent antithrombotic agents. Major bleeding associated with PCI leads to significantly increased mortality. Additionally, adequate rates of antiplatelet activity are not reached in large proportions of patients receiving clopidogrel due to interactions with its hepatic metabolism. As a result, current research has focused on creating antiplatelet agents that bypass hepatic metabolism, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as on decreasing major bleeding risks in patients undergoing PCI. Large trials such as ACUITY and HORIZONS have demonstrated that the direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin is able to adequately anticoagulate patients undergoing urgent PCI while also significantly decreasing adverse bleeding events. Additionally, novel reversible anticoagulants and factor Xa inhibitors are being examined as agents that may reduce bleeding risk in this patient population.

Background: The Patterns of non-Adherence to Anti-Platelet Regimen in Stented Patients (PARIS) bleeding risk score has been proposed to predict the risk of bleeding events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the prognostic value of the PARIS bleeding risk score for long term all-cause and cardiac mortalities has not been evaluated. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the PARIS bleeding risk score for all-cause and cardiac mortalities after PCI. Methods and Results: Consecutive 1061 patients, who had admitted to our hospital and performed or undergone PCI, were divided into 3 groups based on PARIS bleeding risk score: low (n = 113), intermediate (n = 420) and high risk groups (n = 528). We compared comorbidities and characteristics of patients among 3 groups. Furthermore, we prospectively followed up all-cause and cardiac mortalities. Clinical characteristics of 3 groups were as follows: mean age (low, intermediate and high risk groups; 56.5, 65.6 and 73.9 years, P < 0.001, respectively), prevalence of chronic kidney disease (2.7%, 24.2% and 67.8%, P < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (8.2%, 8.9% and 21.6%, P < 0.001) and peripheral artery disease (3.1%, 9.1% and 22.1%, P < 0.001). During the mean follow-up period of 1809 days, there were 205 deaths and 64 cardiac deaths. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that both all-cause and cardiac mortalities were highest in high risk group among 3 groups (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively, Figure). In multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis adjusted for confounding factors, PARIS bleeding score was an independent predictor of both all-cause and cardiac mortalities (adjusted hazard ratio 1.27 and 1.21 per 1 point increase, P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively). Conclusion: The PARIS bleeding risk score showed significant prognostic values for all-cause and cardiac mortalities in patients after PCI.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients on chronic warfarin therapy due to atrial fibrillation (AF).We analysed all consecutive AF patients (N = 377, mean age 70 years, male 71%) on warfarin therapy referred for PCI in seven centres. Major bleeding, access site complications and major adverse cardiovascular events were recorded during hospitalisation. A total of 111 patients (29%) received periprocedural GPIs with a wide inter-hospital variation in their use (range 3–68%).The use of GPIs increased with the severity of the disease presentation and 49% of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction received GPIs. Mean periprocedural international normalised ratio (INR) of patients who received GPIs was 1.89 (range 1.1–3.3). Major bleeding was more common in the patients treated with GPIs (9.0% vs. 1.5%, p = 0.001) than in those without GPIs, but there was no difference in major adverse cardiovascular events between the groups. In multivariable analysis, use of GPIs (odds ratio [OR]???????????5.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]???????????1.3–20.6, p = 0.02) and old age (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.0–1.3, p = 0.02) remained as the only independent predictors of major bleeding. Also after adjusting for propensity score, GPIs remained as a significant predictor of major bleeding (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.03–14.1, p = 0.045). In the GPI group, major bleeding was not predicted by INR level or warfarin pause. GPIs increase the risk of major bleeding events irrespective of periprocedural INR levels and should be used with caution in this fragile patient group.

SummaryAlthough bivalirudin has been shown to reduce bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, residual concerns remain about a possible higher risk of early (within 30 days) stent thrombosis (ST). Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of randomised trials reporting ST events with bivalirudin compared to other antithrombotic therapies (heparins ± glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors). A systematic literature search of electronic resources was performed through May, 2014. The primary endpoint was definite early ST, according to Academic Research Consortium criteria. Secondary endpoints included: all-cause death, myocardial infarction and major bleeding. A total of 11 trials, including 16,415 patients, were accrued. Compared to other regimens, bivalirudin significantly increased the risk of early ST (odds ratio [OR]=1.80; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.28 2.52; p=0.0007) and reduced the risk of major bleeding (OR [95 %CI]=0.64 [0.51 0.82], p=0.0003), with a comparable risk of mortality or myocardial infarction. The higher risk of early ST was mainly attributable to acute (OR [95 % CI] =4.33 [2.33 8.05], p < 0.001) than subacute (OR [95 % CI] =0.89 [0.53 1.50], p =0.67) ST events (p for interaction < 0.001). Non-fatal myocardial infarction was the most common presentation (83 %) of early ST events, while death occurred infrequently (about 5 %). In conclusion, in patients undergoing PCI, bivalirudin compared to heparins is associated with a higher risk of early ST, which is mainly related to more frequent acute events. Further studies are required to evaluate alternative strategies to mitigate this risk, without hampering the benefits derived from the reduction in bleeding events with bivalirudin.

Background. Thrombocytopenia was intuitively considered to be associated with higher risk of bleeding and multiple comorbidities after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, controversial results exist, and the real-world clinical impact of thrombocytopenia in patients undergoing PCI is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of baseline thrombocytopenia on the prognosis of patients undergoing PCI. Methods. Using the West China Hospital Inpatient Sample database, patients who underwent PCI were identified from August 2012 to January 2019. Baseline thrombocytopenia was defined as a preprocedural platelet count of 100 × 10 9 / L or less obtained from a routine blood sample taken within 48 hours before coronary PCI. The clinical effect of the advanced thrombocytopenia group ( ≤ 85 × 10 9 / L ), according to the median value of platelet count in the thrombocytopenia cohort, was further assessed. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital death, bleeding events, and post-PCI transfusion. Results. Of 9531 patients enrolled in our study, 936 had baseline thrombocytopenia and 8595 patients did not have. There were no significant differences in the primary outcome between the two groups. However, advanced thrombocytopenia was independently associated with higher risk of primary outcome (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.65, p = 0.029 ). Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with thrombocytopenia were associated with higher odds of major bleeding ( BARC ≥ 2 ) (OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.24 to 5.44, p = 0.011 ). Compared with the nonthrombocytopenia group, the thrombocytopenia group with ticagrelor use had higher odds of major bleeding (OR 9.7, 95% CI 1.57 to 60.4 versus OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.03 to 1.69, interaction p = 0.025 ). Conclusions. It seems feasible for patients with thrombocytopenia to receive PCI, but close attention should be paid to advanced thrombocytopenia, the risk of postprocedure bleeding in ACS patients, and the use of more potent P2Y12 inhibitor.
