Lesion Complexity and Outcomes of Extended Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subjects undergoing coronary stenting with complex lesion anatomy may experience different risks and benefits with prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy.

Objectives

The authors assessed the effect of 30 months versus 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on the presence or absence of anatomically-complex target lesions.

Methods

In the DAPT Study, combined myocardial infarction (MI) or stent thrombosis and moderate/severe bleeding were assessed in enrolled (n = 25,416) and randomized (n = 11,554) subjects. Complex lesions had any of the following characteristics: unprotected left main, >2 lesions/vessel, length ≥30 mm, bifurcation with side branch ≥2.5 mm, vein bypass graft, or thrombus-containing lesion. Events were evaluated according to increasing number of complexity characteristics and compared according to DAPT score.

Results

Enrolled subjects with more complex target lesions had higher rates of MI or stent thrombosis in the first 12 months after PCI (3.9% vs. 2.4%; p < 0.001). Among those who were event-free at 12 months, rates of MI or stent thrombosis between 12 and 30 months were similar between those with versus without complex anatomy (3.5% vs. 2.9%; p = 0.07). Reduction of MI or stent thrombosis with continued thienopyridine beyond 12 months versus placebo was similar for subjects with (2.5% vs. 4.5%; hazard ratio: 0.55; 95% confidence interval: 0.38 to 0.79; p = 0.001) and without (2.0% vs. 3.8%; hazard ratio: 0.52; 95% confidence interval: 0.39 to 0.69; p < 0.001) anatomic complexity (p_interaction = 0.81), as was increase in moderate/severe bleeding (p_interaction = 0.44). Among subjects with anatomic complexity, those with DAPT scores ≥2 randomized to continued thienopyridine had greater reductions in MI or stent thrombosis (3.0% vs. 6.1%; p < 0.001) compared with subjects with scores <2 (1.7% vs. 2.3%; p = 0.42; p value comparing risk differences = 0.03).

Conclusions

Complex target-lesion anatomy is associated with increased ischemic events, particularly within the first year after PCI. Among those without events in the first 12 months, the benefits of extending DAPT were similar in subjects with and without complex lesions. A high DAPT score identified those experiencing the most benefit from extended treatment among patients with and without complex anatomy.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical utility of individualising dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an all-comers population, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.SettingTertiary care single centre registry.Participants1008 consecutive PCI patients with stent implantation, without exclusion criteria.InterventionPeri-interventional individualisation of DAPT, guided by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA), to overcome high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) to ADP-induced (≥50 U) and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced aggregation (>35 U).Outcome measuresThe primary efficacy end point was definite stent thrombosis (ST) at 30 days. The primary safety end point was thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major and minor bleeding. Secondary end points were probable ST, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and the combined end point: major cardiac adverse event (MACE).Results53% of patients presented with acute coronary syndrome (9% STEMI, 44% non-ST-elevation). HPR to ADP after 600 mg clopidogrel loading occurred in 30% of patients (73±19 U vs 28±11 U; p<0.001) and was treated by prasugrel or ticagrelor (73%), or clopidogrel (27%) reloading (22±12 U; p<0.001). HPR to ADP after prasugrel loading occurred in 2% of patients (82±26 U vs 19±10 U; p<0.001) and was treated with ticagrelor (34±15 U; p=0.02). HPR to AA occurred in 9% of patients with a significant higher proportion in patients with HPR to ADP (22% vs 4%, p<0.001) and was treated with aspirin reloading. Definite ST occurred in 0.09% of patients (n=1); probable ST, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and MACE occurred in 0.19% (n=2), 0.09% (n=1) and 1.8% (n=18) of patients. TIMI major and minor bleeding did not differ between patients without HPR and individualised patients (2.6% for both).ConclusionsIndividualisation of DAPT with MEA minimises early thrombotic events in an all-comers PCI population to an unreported degree without increasing bleeding. A randomised multicentre trial utilising MEA seems warranted.Trial registration numberhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov; NCT01515345.

Project description:IntroductionDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is routinely given to patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting; however, there is ongoing debate about the optimal duration, especially in specific patient groups. In the proposed systematic review, we intend to assess the optimal duration of DAPT following PCI with stenting, with a focus on clinically relevant patient subgroups.Methods and analysisWe will perform a comprehensive search of the published literature for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the benefits and harms of extended DAPT (>12 months) compared with short-term DAPT (6-12 months) following PCI with stenting (bare metal or drug eluting). ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP will also be searched to identify ongoing and completed clinical trials. Two independent reviewers will select studies for inclusion, and the risk of bias will be assessed by use of Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool. The primary outcome of interest is death (all-cause, cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular). Secondary outcomes are bleeding (major, minor, gastrointestinal), urgent target vessel revascularisation, major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke and stent thrombosis. Subgroup data will be sought for patients with prior myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome at presentation and diabetes, and based on smoking status and age group. Data will be analysed by random-effects meta-analysis, and separate analyses will be performed for patient subgroups. Bayesian network meta-analysis will be performed to investigate the effect of individual P2Y12 inhibitors at different DAPT durations longer than 6 months.Ethics and disseminationThis review will provide a comprehensive overview of the available evidence of the benefits and harms associated with extending DAPT beyond 12 months following PCI with stenting and the effects on clinically important subgroups. The results of this review will inform clinical and policy decisions regarding the optimal treatment duration of DAPT following PCI with stenting.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO no.

Project description:BackgroundDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is routinely given to patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting; however, optimal duration remains uncertain in some situations. We assessed the benefits and harms of extending DAPT beyond 1 year after PCI in clinically important patient subgroups.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We searched electronic databases (Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library) and grey literature (from inception to Nov. 5, 2021) and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of extended DAPT (> 12 mo) compared with DAPT for 6-12 months following PCI with stenting. The primary outcome was death (all cause, cardiovascular, noncardiovascular); secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, stent thrombosis and bleeding. Subgroups were based on prespecified patient characteristics (prior MI, acute coronary syndrome [ACS], diabetes mellitus, age, smoking status). Data were analyzed by random-effects pairwise meta-analysis.ResultsWe identified 9 RCTs that provided subgroup data. We found that extended DAPT reduced the risk of MI and stent thrombosis but increased the risk of bleeding, compared with standard DAPT, with no difference in the risk of all-cause death (relative risk [RR] 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-1.42) or cardiovascular death (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.74-1.30). We found that patients with a prior MI, with ACS at presentation, without diabetes or aged younger than 75 years may derive the most benefit from extended DAPT. Among patients who received extended DAPT, the risk of all-cause death was significantly increased among those with no prior MI (RR 1.64, 95% CI 1.08-2.24), whereas there was no significant difference in the risk of all-cause death between standard and extended DAPT for patients with ACS (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.51-2.83), with diabetes (RR 1.27, 95% CI 0.86-1.89), aged older than 75 years (RR 1.32, 95% CI 0.39-4.54) or who smoked (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.42-1.92). Similar results were found for cardiovascular death, where data were available.InterpretationPatients with a previous MI with ACS at presentation, without diabetes, or aged younger than 75 years may derive the most benefit from extended DAPT. These findings support the need for careful selection of patients who may benefit most from extended DAPT.Study registrationPROSPERO no. CRD42018082587.
