Clinical Outcomes of Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment After Successful Revascularization of de novo Chronic Total Occlusions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for de novo coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of DCB only treatment for de novo CTO.

Methods

In this retrospective study, 101 vessels with de novo CTO lesions dilated by balloon angioplasty with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade 3 were included. Among them, 93 vessels successfully treated with DCB only treatment were analyzed. The study endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 2 years, a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and target vessel thrombosis. The secondary endpoint was late lumen loss (LLL) on follow-up coronary angiography.

Results

All 84 patients were followed up clinically, and 67 vessels underwent scheduled coronary angiography after 6 months. There were no procedural complications, and three vessels required bailout-stenting. The median follow-up was 720 days (interquartile range [IQR]; 406-1,268 days). MACE occurred in 8.3% of the patients after 1 year, including cardiac death (1.2%), TVR (7.1%), and no non-fatal MI and target vessel thrombosis. Two years after treatment, MACE occurred in 16.7% of the patients, including cardiac death (2.4%), non-fatal MI (3.6%), TVR (13.1%), and no target vessel thrombosis. The mean LLL was 0.03 ± 0.53 mm. Binary restenosis occurred in 14.9% of the treated vessels, and 3.0% of the vessels had late re-occlusion on follow-up coronary angiography.

Conclusions

If the result of revascularization using balloon angioplasty is good, the clinical outcomes of DCB only treatment of de novo CTOs at the 2-year follow-up are encouraging, with a low rate of hard endpoints and acceptable MACE rates (Clinical Trial Registration Information; Impact of Drug-coated Balloon Treatment in de novo Coronary Lesion; NCT04619277).

Project description:BackgroundThe effects of the drug-coated balloon (DCB)-only strategy in the treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) coronary lesions remain controversial. Patients who underwent an in-stent restenosis (ISR) CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had a significantly poorer prognosis than those who underwent a de novo CTO PCI. This retrospective analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of the DCB-only strategy in the treatment of CTO lesions, and the factors associated with adverse events in the patients.MethodsPatients with CTO lesions who were treated with the DCB-only strategy from 1 January 2016 to 1 May 2021 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The patients were stratified into the ISR and de novo (primary) groups. All the patients were re-admitted to the hospital and underwent clinical and/or angiographic follow-up.ResultsOf the 68 patients with CTO lesions, 38 (55.9%) were categorized as having ISR, and 30 (44.1%) were categorized as having de novo lesions. The outcomes measured included target lesion revascularization (TLR), lumen gain after intervention, and late lumen loss (LLL). After an average follow-up period of 16 months, a total of 15 patients experienced target lesion failure (13 in the ISR group and 2 in the de novo group). The rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) was significantly lower in the de novo group than the ISR group (10% vs. 39%, P=0.004). There was a significant difference in LLL between the two groups, with the de novo group showing a decrease (-0.04±0.83 mm) and the ISR group showing an increase (0.97±1.45 mm) (P=0.03). The univariable Cox proportional hazard analyses revealed that the incidence of TLR was independently associated with the stenosis type (either ISR or de novo lesions) [odds ratio (OR): 7.28; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.494-35.464; P=0.01]. Male gender (OR: 3.726; 95% CI: 1.014-12.818; P=0.03) and body mass index (BMI) (OR: 1.246; 95% CI: 1.022-1.518, P=0.03) were also associated with the incidence of TLR. However, after adjusting for the variables of age, gender, and BMI, no significant association was found between MACE occurrence and ISR (OR: 4.156, 95% CI: 0.734-23.522; P=0.11).ConclusionsTreatment using the DCB-only strategy was found to be beneficial for patients suffering from CTO coronary lesions, especially those presenting with de novo lesions.
