Abstract Background Anemia is a well-recognized risk factor for adverse events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but data regarding the association between anemia and in-stent restenosis (ISR) remain limited.Methods A total of 538 patients who underwent PCI between January 2018 and September 2019 and performed follow-up angiography 9–12 months after the initial PCI was enrolled in the study. Baseline clinical and procedural characteristics were compared between ISR and non-ISR group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the independent predictors of ISR.Results The incidence of anemia in patients with ISR was 53.5% and 19.0% in the non-ISR group, which was significantly different (P ༜0.001). The rate of diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), bifurcation lesion and calcification was significantly higher in ISR group. In addition, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), multiple stenting and stent diameter were also significantly related with ISR. After multivariate logistic analysis, anemia (odds ratio [OR], 2.786; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.091 to 7.115; P = 0.032) together with LDL-c (OR, 1.682; 95% CI, 1.145 to 2.469; P = 0.008), diabetes (OR, 3.582; 95% CI, 1.406 to 9.125; P = 0.007), CKD (OR, 2.841; 95% CI, 1.006 to 8.027; P = 0.049), multiple stenting (OR, 2.823; 95% CI, 1.184 to 6.731; P = 0.019), and stent diameter (OR, 2.778; 95% CI, 1.069 to 7.194; P = 0.036) were closely associated with ISR.Conclusion Anemia is closely associated with ISR after PCI, patients with lower hemoglobin have a higher risk of ISR.

Abstract Background Anemia is a common risk factor for post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) adverse events; however, data on its association with in-stent restenosis (ISR) is limited. Methods 538 patients who underwent PCI between January 2017 and September 2019 and follow-up angiography 9–12 months after the initial PCI were enrolled in this study. Baseline clinical and procedural characteristics were compared between the ISR and non-ISR groups, and independent predictors of ISR were determined using propensity score matching. Results The incidence of anemia was 53.5% in patients with ISR and 19.0% in those without ISR. Univariable logistic regression analyses showed that anemia (OR, 4.283; 95% CI, 1.949–9.410; P < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.588; 95% CI, 1.176–5.696; P = 0.018), chronic kidney disease (OR, 3.058; 95% CI, 1.289–7.252; P = 0.011), multiple stenting (OR, 2.592; 95% CI, 1.205–5.573; P = 0.015), bifurcation lesion (OR, 2.669; 95% CI, 1.236–5.763; P = 0.012), and calcification (OR, 3.529; 95% CI, 1.131–11.014; P = 0.030) were closely associated with ISR. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) levels and stent diameter were also significantly linked to ISR, as was anemia (P = 0.009) after propensity score matching. Conclusion Anemia is closely associated with post-PCI ISR, and patients with lower hemoglobin levels are at a higher risk of ISR.

Currently, percutaneous coronary intervention is an important treatment for coronary heart disease. However, the in-stent restenosis rate is still approximately 10–30% after stenting. Nickel ions from the stent are considered to be associated with in-stent restenosis. Therefore, in the present study, we quantitatively evaluated in-stent restenosis after implanting the novel high-nitrogen low-nickel coronary stent (HNS) and studied the mechanism underlying the reduction in in-stent restenosis by using ELISA and Western blot. The in vivo results showed that the HNS could significantly reduce neointima formation and inflammation as compared to SUS316L stents (316L) at 180 days after implantation in porcine coronary arteries and that vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression in porcine coronary arteries after HNS implantation also decreased. The in vitro results showed that, in the case of the HNS, human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation was lower and lesser IL-6 release was noted from HUVECs at one and three days after culture than in the 316L group. Furthermore, p-STAT3 expression in HUVECs on the HNS surface was downregulated after culture for seven days. Thus, we conclude that the HNS could be a promising alternative coronary stent for percutaneous coronary intervention.
