One-Year Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with cirrhosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are at high risk for morbidity during surgical revascularization so they are often referred for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Percutaneous coronary intervention in the cirrhotic population also has inherent risks; however, quantifiable data on long-term outcomes are lacking.

Methods

Patients with angiographically significant CAD and cirrhosis were identified from the catheterization lab databases of the University of Pennsylvania Health System between 2007 and 2015. Outcomes were obtained from the medical record and telephonic contact with patients/families.

Results

Percutaneous coronary intervention was successfully performed in 42 patients (51 PCIs). Twenty-nine patients with si
