ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate the long-term prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by risk stratification with American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) classification of coronary lesions.@*Methods@#Data used in this study derived from the I-LOVE-IT 2 trial. I-LOVE-IT 2 trial was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded, noninferiority study. A total of 1 255 patients in I-LOVE-IT 2 trial with only one lesion and underwent biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent implantation were included and grouped according to ACC/AHA classification of coronary lesions, namely type A/B1 lesion group (n=184), type B2 lesion group (n=457) and type C lesion group (n=614). The primary endpoint was 48-month patient-oriented composite endpoint (PoCE), a composite of all-cause mortality, all myocardial infarction, stroke, and/or any revascularization. The secondary endpoints were target lesion failure (TLF), components of PoCE, major bleeding (bleeding academic research consortium(BARC) type 3-5) and definite/probable stent thrombosis within 48 months. The incidences of endpoint events were compared in the three groups. The multivariable Cox hazard ratio model was used to analyze the independent predictors of PoCE and TLF at 48 months.@*Results@#Incidences of PoCE at 48 months were significantly higher in patients with type C lesion compared with patients with type A/B1 (24.43%(150/614) vs. 14.13%(26/184), P<0.05) or B2 lesion (24.43%(150/614) vs. 15.97%(73/457), P<0.05). The multivariable Cox hazard ratio model showed that the type C lesion were the independent predictors of 48-month PoCE (HR=1.59, 95%CI 1.21-2.08, P<0.001) and TLF (HR=2.31, 95%CI 1.53-3.49, P<0.001). After multivariable adjustment, the HRs of PoCE for patients with type C lesion versus type A/B1 and type B2 were 1.91 (95%CI 1.25-2.92, P=0.003) and 1.64 (95%CI 1.23-2.20, P<0.001), respectively. Meanwhile, the HRs of TLF for patients with type C lesion versus type A/B1 and type B2 were 2.45 (95%CI 1.29-4.64, P=0.006) and 2.55 (95%CI 1.62-4.02, P=0.001), respectively.@*Conclusions@#The ACC/AHA classification of coronary lesions has good discrimination with long-term outcomes for CAD patients undergoing PCI. The type C lesion is associated with a worse prognosis, enough attention should be paid in these patients during routine clinical management.

Objective@#To explore the value of SYNTAX revascularization index (SRI) on evaluating the long-term prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients implanted with biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) and define the best threshold of SRI for predicting all-cause mortality in these patients.@*Methods@#Data used in this study derived from the I-LOVE-IT 2 trial (evaluate safety and effectiveness of the Tivoli DES and the Firebird DES for treatment of coronary). I-LOVE-IT 2 trial was a prospective, multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded, non-inferiority study. A total of 1 829 patients implanted with BP-DES were divided into 3 groups, namely SRI=100% group (n=963), 50%≤SRI<100% group (n=527) and SRI<50% group (n=339). The primary endpoint was 48-month patient-oriented composite endpoint (PoCE), a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction(MI), stroke, and/or any revascularization. The secondary endpoints were components of PoCE and definite/probable stent thrombosis at 48 months. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to investigate the best cut-off point of SRI for 48-month all-cause mortality. The Cox regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of the all-cause death and PoCE at 48 months.@*Results@#Incidence of PoCE at 48 months was significantly lower in SRI=100% group than patients with 50%≤SRI<100%(17.34% (167/963) vs. 22.20% (117/527), P<0.05) and SRI<50% (17.34% (167/963) vs. 24.78% (84/339), P<0.05). Comparing with SRI=100% group, the patients with 50%≤SRI<100% suffered higher rates of all MI (7.78% (41/527) vs. 4.26% (41/963), P<0.05) and target vessel MI (6.45% (34/527) vs. 4.26% (41/963), P<0.05); patients with SRI<50% had higher rates of all-cause mortality (5.90% (20/339) vs. 3.12% (30/963), P<0.05) and any revascularization (14.16% (48/339) vs. 3.12% (30/963), P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the SRI=65% was the best cut-off point to predict the all-cause mortality at 48 months (area under the curve was 0.58, sensitive was 0.47, specificity was 0.70). Meanwhile, SRI<65% was an independent predictor of 48-month all-cause mortality (HR=2.06, 95%CI 1.25-3.38) and PoCE (HR=1.34, 95%CI 1.09-1.66).@*Conclusions@#SRI serves as a good index for predicting long-term prognosis and SRI<65% is an independent predictor of 48-month PoCE and all-cause mortality for CAD patients with BP-DES implantation. Meanwhile, SRI≥65% might be a reasonable threshold of incomplete revascularization.
