Stent-Related Adverse Events as Related to Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in First- vs Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents
[Background] There are limited data on the long-term stent-related adverse events as related to the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in second-generation (G2) drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with first-generation (G1) DES. [Objectives] This study sought to compare the long-term stent-related outcomes of G2-DES with those of G1-DES. [Methods] The study group consisted of 15, 009 patients who underwent their first coronary revascularization with DES from the CREDO-Kyoto PCI/CABG (Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto Percutaneous Coronary Intervention/Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) Registry Cohort-2 (first-generation drug-eluting stent [G1-DES] period; n = 5, 382) and Cohort-3 (second-generation drug eluting stent [G2-DES] period; n = 9, 627). The primary outcome measures were definite stent thrombosis (ST) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). [Results] The cumulative 5-year incidences of definite ST and TVR were significantly lower in the G2-DES group than in the G1-DES group (0.7% vs 1.4%; P < 0.001; and 16.2% vs 22.1%; P < 0.001, respectively). The lower adjusted risk of G2-DES relative to G1-DES for definite ST and TVR remained significant (HR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.37-0.76; P < 0.001; and HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.68-0.81; P < 0.001, respectively). In the landmark analysis that was based on the DAPT status at 1 year, the lower adjusted risk of on-DAPT status relative to off-DAPT was significant for definite ST beyond 1 year in the G1-DES stratum (HR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.24-0.76; P = 0.004) but not in the G2-DES stratum (HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.26-1.68; P = 0.38) (Pinteraction = 0.14). [Conclusions] G2-DES compared with G1-DES were associated with a significantly lower risk for stent-related adverse events, including definite ST and TVR. DAPT beyond 1 year was associated with a significantly lower risk for very late ST of G1-DES but not for that of G2-DES
Severe Aortic Stenosis in Dialysis Patients
Background: Characteristics and prognosis of hemodialysis patients with severe aortic stenosis have not yet been well defined. Methods and Results: The CURRENT AS (contemporary outcomes after surgery and medical treatment in patients with severe aortic stenosis) registry, a Japanese multicenter registry, enrolled 3815 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis. There were 405 hemodialysis patients (initial aortic valve replacement [AVR] group: N=135 [33.3%], and conservative group: N=270) and 3410 nonhemodialysis patients (initial AVR group: N=1062 [31.1%], and conservative group: N=2348). The median follow‐up duration after the index echocardiography was 1361 days, with 90% follow‐up rate at 2 years. The cumulative 5‐year incidence of all‐cause death was significantly higher in hemodialysis patients than in nonhemodialysis patients in both the entire cohort (71% versus 40%, P<0.001) and in the initial AVR group (63.2% versus 17.9%, P<0.001). Among hemodialysis patients, the initial AVR group as compared with the conservative group was associated with significantly lower cumulative 5‐year incidences of all‐cause death (60.6% versus 75.5%, P<0.001) and sudden death (10.2% versus 31.7%, P<0.001). Nevertheless, the rate of aortic valve procedure–related death, which predominantly occurred within 6 months of the AVR procedure, was markedly higher in the hemodialysis patients than in the nonhemodialysis patients (21.2% and 2.3%, P<0.001). Conclusions: Among hemodialysis patients with severe aortic stenosis, the initial AVR strategy as compared with the conservative strategy was associated with significantly lower long‐term mortality risk, particularly the risk for sudden death, although the effect size for the survival benefit of the initial AVR strategy was smaller than that in the nonhemodialysis patients
Decline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction during Follow-up in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 1-year follow-up in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) managed conservatively. Background: No previous study has explored the association between LVEF decline during follow-up and clinical outcomes in patients with severe AS. Methods: Among 3, 815 patients with severe AS enrolled in the multicenter CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry in Japan, 839 conservatively managed patients who underwent echocardiography at 1-year follow-up were analyzed. The primary outcome measure was a composite of AS-related deaths and hospitalization for heart failure. Results: There were 91 patients (10.8%) with >10% declines in LVEF and 748 patients (89.2%) without declines. Left ventricular dimensions and the prevalence of valve regurgitation and atrial fibrillation or flutter significantly increased in the group with declines in LVEF. The cumulative 3-year incidence of the primary outcome measure was significantly higher in the group with declines in LVEF than in the group with no decline (39.5% vs. 26.5%; p 10% declines in LVEF at 1 year after diagnosis had worse AS-related clinical outcomes than those without declines in LVEF under conservative management.
