RESUMO
The impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients undergoing chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. We reviewed 3999 CTO PCIs performed in 3914 patients between 2012 and 2018 at 25 centers, 14% of whom had a history of PAD. We compared the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of patients with versus without history of PAD. Patients with PAD were older (67 ± 9 vs 64 ± 10 years, P < .001) and had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. They also had more complex lesions as illustrated by higher Japanese CTO score (2.7 ± 1.2 vs 2.4 ± 1.3, P < .001). In patients with PAD, the final crossing technique was less often antegrade wire escalation (40% vs 51%, P < .001) and more often the retrograde approach (23 vs 20%, P < .001) and antegrade dissection/reentry (20% vs 16%, P < .001). Technical success was similar between the 2 study groups (84% vs 87%, P = .127), but procedural success was lower for patients with PAD (81% vs 85%, P = .015). The incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events was higher among patients with PAD (3% vs 2%, P = .046). In conclusion, patients with PAD undergoing CTO PCI have more comorbidities, more complex lesions, and lower procedural success.

BACKGROUND: The effect of perioperative bridging therapy on risks of ischemic cardiac events and major bleeding complications in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains undefined. METHODS: We report on 60 consecutive patients between 2010 and 2017 who required cardiac (CS; nâ¯=â¯15) or non-cardiac (NCS; nâ¯=â¯45) surgeries following PCI at our institution. Short-acting intravenous (IV) antiplatelet (APT) bridging with eptifibatide, tirofiban and cangrelor were instituted after DAPT interruption. RESULTS: All patients were men with multiple atherosclerosis risk factors. An acute coronary syndrome indication (56.7%) was the most common PCI indication in the CS and NCS groups. Drug-eluting stents were used in 93.33% and 95.56% of the above groups, respectively. The median duration from PCI to CS and NCS were 11.17 and 18.25 months, respectively and 38.33% of all surgeries were performed within 6â¯months of the index PCI. Most patients were on background aspirin (83.33%) and clopidogrel (81.67%) and median duration of DAPT interruption was 7â¯days. Median duration of perioperative IV APT bridging was 3â¯days for CS and 5â¯days for NCS groups. In the CS group, two patients (13.33%) had non-fata myocardial infarction (MI), and four (26.67%) had clinically significant bleeding. No patients had perioperative stent thrombosis. In the NCS group, one patient (2.22%) had stent thrombosis; four (6.67%) had myocardial infarction, and five (11.11%) clinically significant bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: Despite using IV APT as bridging therapy during perioperative DAPT interruption in post-PCI patients, postoperative cardiac events and bleeding complications can still occur.
