ABSTRACT: Objectives
In an all-comers cohort undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), we aimed to assess prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) patients and impact of HBR and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on clinical events.Background
HBR represents a complex subgroup of patients undergoing PCI.Methods
In the ReCre8 trial, patients undergoing PCI were stratified for troponin status and diabetes and randomized to a permanent polymer zotarolimus-eluting- or polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent. Patients were treated with 12 months (troponin-positive) or one month (troponin-negative) of DAPT. We evaluated clinical outcomes in patients with and without HBR according to the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk criteria.Results
From a total of 1488 patients included in this subanalysis, 406 patients (27.3 %) were identified as being at HBR. Among HBR patients, target-lesion failure (TLF) was similar after one year yet was higher after three years (13.3 % vs. 9.1 %; p = 0.013), compared to non-HBR patients. There was no difference in Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3 to 5 bleeding, however BARC 2 to 5 bleeding was higher after three years with 4.9 % vs. 3.0 % (p = 0.037). There were no differences between troponin-positive (12-months DAPT) and -negative (1-month DAPT) HBR patients with respect to ischemic and bleeding outcomes.Conclusions
In this all-comers population of PCI patients, a higher TLF rate among HBR patients at long-term follow-up was found, underlining the complexities involving treatment of HBR patients. We did not observe statistically significant differences in BARC 3 to 5 bleeding between HBR and non-HBR patients regardless of DAPT duration.Clinical trial registration
