Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in Cancer Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cancer patients have a higher propensity for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, primarily due to the toxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapy. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the proportion of multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) in cancer compared to non-cancer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We systematically screened the literature for studies providing data on MVD in patients with and without cancer who underwent PCI. Seventeen observational studies (5200 patients with active cancer/history of cancer and 55,146 control patients without cancer) were included in the analysis. Most studies did not show statistically significant differences in the incidence of MVD. Overall, there was no sign
