Complex versus non-complex percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with atrial fibrillation: a real-world study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and the complexity of PCI has risen in recent years. However, there is limited data available on clinical outcomes in patients with AF who underwent complex PCI.

Methods

This was a prospective, observational study. Complex PCI was defined as PCI performed to ≥ 3 separate major coronary vessels; ≥3 stents implanted; ≥3 lesions treated; or total stented length > 60 mm. The primary outcome was defined as major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) including all-cause death, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), stroke/ transient ischemic attack (TIA), systemic embolism or ischemia-driven revascularization. The secondary outcome was defined as net adverse clinical events (
