Association of liver dysfunction with outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver dysfunction is a known risk factor in the cardiovascular field. It specifically increases perioperative risk in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. Since percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the much less invasive procedure for the treatment of coronary artery disease, we aimed to assess the relationship of liver dysfunction with outcomes in patients undergoing PCI.

We performed a meta-analysis of all studies in patients who underwent PCI that provided information on the presence or absence of liver dysfunction. Primary outcome was short-term mortality. Secondary outcomes were major adverse cardio- and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), bleeding and acute k
