Abstract
Background
Although bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower
procedural success rates and higher risk of complications, there are little data regarding
outcomes after successful bifurcation PCI with contemporary stents and techniques.
Whether residual platelet reactivity (PR) affects outcomes differently after bifurcation
versus non-bifurcation PCI is also unknown. We studied the association between bifurcation
PCI, PR, and clinical outcomes among patients undergoing successful PCI with drug-eluting
stents.
Methods
Patients in the prospective, multicenter ADAPT-DES study were stratified according
to whether they underwent bifurcation PCI. Two-year outcomes were compared between
groups using Cox proportional hazards models. Target vessel failure (TVF) was defined
as the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target
vessel revascularization.
Results
Among the 8582 patients included in ADAPT-DES, 1276 (15%) had bifurcation PCI. Bifurcation
PCI was independently associated with increased risk of TVF (adjusted hazard ratio
[HR] 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08–1.46, p = 0.003), driven by higher risk of myocardial infarction (5.9% vs. 4.6%, p = 0.033) and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization (13.0% vs. 9.2%, p < 0.0001). There was no statistical interaction between PR and bifurcation PCI regarding
TVF risk (adjusted pinteraction = 0.87). Stenting of both bifurcation branches was associated with the highest risk
of TVF (adjusted HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.48–2.46 versus non-bifurcation PCI; ptrend < 0.001).
Conclusions
Bifurcation PCI is associated with a higher risk of 2-year adverse ischemic events
than non-bifurcation PCI, a risk that is particularly high when both bifurcation branches
are stented, and with HPR conferring similar risk for bifurcation and non-bifurcation
PCI.
