Evolução tardia de pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio tratados com stents farmacológicos na prática diária do mundo real: subanálise do registro DESIRE (drug-eluting stent in the real world) / Late follow-up of patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with drug-eluting stents in the daily practice of the real world: a sub-analysis of the DESIRE registry (drug-eluting stent in the real world)

Introdução: Estudos prévios comparando stents farmacológicos (SFs) e stents não-farmacológicos sugerem eficácia e segurança dos SFs no tratamento de pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM). No entanto, a evolução tardia de pacientes com IAM tratados com SFs na prática diária permanece desconhecida. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o seguimento tardio de pacientes com IAM recente tratados com SFs na prática diária do mundo real. Métodos: Entre maio de 2002 e junho de 2009, 3.018 pacientes não-selecionados com indicação de intervenção percutânea eletiva ou de emergência foram consecutivamente tratados com SFs em uma instituição clínica. O seguimento tardio de até sete anos foi realizado em 98%, com mediana de 3,4 anos. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: pacientes com IAM recente (< 30 dias) e pacientes sem IAM recente. Resultados: Os pacientes com IAM recente tinham menos comorbidades e mais doença multiarterial (68,1% vs. 60,7%; P < 0,001), lesões com trombo (13,6% vs. 1,3%; P < 0,001), fluxo TIMI 0/1 (8,3% vs. 1,1%; P < 0,001) e disfunção moderada/grave do ventrículo esquerdo (23,2% vs. 10,9%; P < 0,001), comparativamente aos pacientes sem IAM recente. O grupo IAM recente recebeu 1,6 ± 0,8 stent/ paciente e mais inibidores da glicoproteína IIb/IIIa (19,6% vs. 2%; P < 0,001), mas o sucesso angiográfico foi similar nos dois grupos (> 99%). No seguimento tardio, a incidência de óbito cardíaco (6,4% vs. 2,7%; P < 0,001) e de trombose de stent (3,6% vs. 1,3%; P < 0,001) foi significativamente maior no grupo IAM recente. O IAM recente permaneceu como preditor independente de trombose de stent na análise multivariada (RR 2,96, IC 95% 1,62-5,41; P < 0,001). Conclusões: Pacientes com IAM < 30 dias tratados com SFs apresentaram pior prognóstico quando comparados aos pacientes sem IAM recente, incluindo aumento significativo do óbito cardíaco até sete anos de acompanhamento, e ocorrência 2,5 vezes maior das taxas de trombose de stent.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies comparing drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare-metal stents suggest efficacy and safety of the DES in the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI). However, the late evolution of patients with MI treated with DES in the daily practice remains unknown. Our goal was to investigate the late follow-up of patients with MI recently treated with DES in the real world. METHODS: Between May 2002 and June 2009, 3,018 non-selected patients with indication for elective or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention have been consecutively treated with DES in a clinical institution. The 7-year follow-up was performed in 98% of these patients, with a median of 3.4 years. The patients were divided in two groups: patients with recent MI (< 30 days) and patients without recent MI. RESULTS: Patients with recent MI had less co-morbidities, but more multiarterial disease (68.1% vs. 60.7%; P < 0.001), lesions with thrombus (13.6% vs. 1.3%; P < 0.001), TIMI flow 0/1 (8.3% vs. 1.1%; P < 0.001), and moderate/severe LV dysfunction (23.2% vs. 10.9%; P < 0.001) when compared with patients without MI. The recent MI group received 1.6 ± 0.8 stents/patient and more glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (19.6% vs. 2%; P < 0.001), but the angiographic success (> 99%) was similar between groups. In the late follow-up, the incidence of cardiac death (6.4% vs. 2.7%; P < 0.001) and stent thrombosis (3.6% vs. 1.3%; P < 0.001) was significantly greater in the recent MI group. Recent MI remained an independent predictor of stent thrombosis in multivariate analysis (HR 2.96, 95% CI 1.62-5.41; P < 0,001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MI < 30 days treated with DES had a worse prognosis when compared with patients without recent MI, including a higher incidence of cardiac death and a 2.5 times greater occurrence of stent thrombosis rate up to 7-year follow-up.

Evolução tardia após intervenção coronária percutânea com stents farmacológicos em pacientes diabéticos do Registro DESIRE (Drug-Eluting Stents in the Real World) / Long-Term results after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stents in diabetic patients in the DESIRE (Drug-Eluting Stents in the Real World)

Fundamentos: O diabetes melito está relacionado à ocorrência de desfechos desfavoráveis após intervenções coronárias percutâneas. Os stents farmacológicos podem conferir melhor evolução tardia a esse subgrupo de pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho desses instrumentais em pacientes diabéticos. Métodos: O DESIRE é um registro unicêntrico, prospectivo, que inclui 2,365 pacientes tratados consecutivamente com stents farmacológicos, entre maio de 2002 e janeiro de 2008. Para a presente análise foram excluídos pacientes com diagnóstico de infarto do miocárdio, aqueles com lesão tratada em ponte de safena e os com período de evolução inferior a 6 meses. Resultados: Assim 1.705 pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: não-diabéticos (n igual 1.211 pacientes, 71,1 por cento) e diabéticos (n igual 494 pacientes, 28,9 por cento),sendo 109 (6,4 por cento) pacientes em uso de insulina. Dentre os diabéticos havia mais idosos (64,8 mais ou menos 9,8 anos vs. 63,4 mais ou menos11,7 anos; p igual 0,025), mulheres (28,9 por cento vs. 22,5 por cento; p igual 0,005), obesos (35,2 por cento vs. 23,5 por cento; p menor 0,001)...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is related to the occurrence of unfavorable outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions. Drug-eluting stents can confer a better late evolution to this subgroup. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of these devices in diabetic patients. Methods: The DESIRE is a single-center, prospective registry that included 2,365 consecutive patients treated with drug-eluting stents between May 2002 and January 2008. For the present analysis, patients with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, those with saphenous vein grafts lesions and those within 6 months of the index procedure, were excluded. Results: Therefore, 1,705 patients were divided into two groups: non-diabetics (n = 1,211 P/71.1%) and diabetics (n = 494 P/28.9%), of which 109 P (6.4%) were insulin-dependent. Among the diabetics there was a higher number of older people (64.8 ± 9.8 years old vs. 63.4 ± 11.7 years old; p = 0.025), females (28.9 vs. 22.5%; p = 0.005), patients with obesity (35.2 vs. 23.5%; p < 0.001), hypertension (86.6 vs. 73.7%; p < 0.001), multi-vessel disease (63.4 vs. 54.4%; p = 0.001), small-vessel disease (2.70 ± 0.51 mm vs. 2.75 ± 0.42 mm; p < 0.001) and calcified lesions (32.3 vs. 27.1%; p = 0.009).In the late clinical follow up (2.2 ± 1.1 years), the combined cardiac events occurred more frequently in the diabetic patients (9.8 vs. 7.0%; p = 0.048). The multivariate analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.45; 95% confidence interval 1.0 to 2.1) and the presence of a calcified lesion

Trombose de stent farmacológico no "mundo-real": análise crítica do registro DESIRE (Drug-Eluting Stent in the Real World) / Stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stenting in the \"real world\": critical analysis from DESIRE (Drug-Eluting Stent in the Real World) register

Fundamentos: Reportamos a incidência e os preditores de trombose de stent numa grande coorte de pacientes complexos tratados com stents farmacológicos (SF) no "mundo real", Métodos: Entre maio de 2002 e janeiro de 2008, 2.365 pacientes não selecionados com maior ou menor lesão coronária com estenose maior ou menor 50 por cento tratados com ST. O seguimento clínico até cinco anos (média 2,2 mais ou menos 1,5 anos) foi completado em 98,3 por cento. Resultados: Entre os pacientes avaliados 29 por cento tinham diabetes, 60 por cento eram portadores de doença multiarterial e 40 por cento apresentavam síndrome coronária aguda (15 por cento, infarto agudo do miocárdio [IAM]). A artéria descendente anterior foi o vaso-alvo mais frequentemente tratado (35,8 por cento) e 67 por cento das lesões eram de alta complexidade (tipo B2/C). No total, 3.634 SF foram implantados e 40 por cento dos pacientes receberam múltiplos stents. A trombose de stent (classificação Academic Research Consortium) incidiu em 1,6 por cento (n igual 38), 60,5 por cento com confirmação angiográfica...

Background: We report the incidence of stent thrombosis (ST) predictors in a large cohort of complex patients treated with drug eluting stents (DES) in the real world. Methods: From May 2002 until January 2008, 2,365 non-selected patients with ≥ 1 coronary lesion with stenosis of ≥ 50% were treated with DES. The clinical follow-up up to five years (mean time 2.2 ± 1.5 years) was completed in 98.3%. Results: Twenty nine percent of patients had diabetes and 60% multi-vessel disease, 40% presented acute coronary syndrome (15%, acute myocardial infarction [AMI]). The anterior descending artery was the target vessel most frequently treated (35.8%), and 67% were complex lesions (Type B2/C). In all, 3,634 DES were implanted and 40% received multiple stents. Stent thrombosis (classification ofthe Academic Research Consortium) occurred in 1.6% (n = 38), 60.5% with angiographic confirmation, 42% occurred between 1 and 12 months and 47% of the events had a fatal outcome. The independent predictors of ST were: current smoking [relative risk (RR) 2.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18-5.67; p = 0.018], AMI intervention (RR 3.50; 95% CI 1.31-9.40; p = 0.013), moderate to severe calcification (RR 2.38; 95% CI 1.34-4.23; p = 0.003), excentric lesion (RR 1.86; 95% CI 1.03-3.34; p = 0.039), > 1 DES implanted per myocardial territory (RR 1.81; 95% CI 1.09-3.02; p = 0.023), post-dilatation (RR 0.50; 95% CI 0.29-0.90; p = 0.020) and intra-stent residual stenosis [RR 1.04 (per % unit increase); 95% CI 1.01-1.06; p = 0.003]. Conclusions: In this real world prospective registry, the cumulative incidence of stent thrombosis up to 5 year follow-up was...

Fatores preditivos de risco de infarto agudo do miocárdio no pós-operatório de operações de revascularizaçäo miocárdica / Risk factors for acute myocardial infarction during the postoperative period of myocardial revascularization

OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for acute myocardial infarction during the postoperative period after myocardial revascularization. METHODS: This was a case-control study paired for sex, age, number, type of graft used, coronary endarterectomy, type of myocardial protection, and use of extracorporeal circulation. We assessed 178 patients (89 patients in each group) undergoing myocardial revascularization, and the following variables were considered: dyslipidemia, systemic hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, previous myocardial revascularization surgery, previous coronary angioplasty, and acute myocardial infarction. RESULTS: Baseline clinical characteristics did not differ in the groups, except for previous myocardial revascularization surgery, prevalent in the case group (34 patients vs. 12 patients; p = 0.0002). This was the only independent predictor of risk for acute myocardial infarction in the postoperative period, based on a multivariate logistic regression analysis (p=0.0001). Mortality and the time of hospital stay of the case group were significantly higher (19.1 percent vs. 1.1 percent; p<0.001 and 15.7 days vs. 10.6 days; p<0.05 respectively) than those of the control. CONCLUSION: Only previous myocardial revascularization was an independent predictor of acute myocardial infarction in the postoperative period, based on multivariate logistic regression analysis
