Cost-effectiveness of follow-up invasive coronary angiography after percutaneous coronary stenting: a real-world observational cohort study in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Follow-up invasive coronary angiography (FUICA) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to increase the rate of early coronary revascularisation without reducing the incidence of subsequent myocardial infarction or death. However, no studies have evaluated the cost-effectiveness of FUICA in patients after coronary stenting. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of FUICA after PCI.

Design

Retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting

497 hospitals.

Participants and interventions

Overall, 558 patients who underwent coronary artery stenting between April 2014 and March 2015 were matched and included in the invasive angiographic follow-up (AF) group (n=279), in which patients underwent FUICA 6-12 months after PCI, or in the clinical follow-up alone group (CF; n=279) using propensity scores.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary endpoint was the composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, urgent coronary revascularisation, stroke or hospitalisation for the heart failure. The secondary endpoints included all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, urgent revascularisation, coronary artery bypass grafting, stroke, hospitalisation for the heart failure and any coronary revascularisation after a minimum of 6 months of follow-up.

Results

Costs were calculated as direct medical expenses based on medical fee billing information. The cumulative 3-year incidence of the primary endpoint was 5.3% in the AF group and 4.7% in the CF group (HR 1.02; 95% CI 0.47 to 2.20; p=0.98). The total incremental cost at the 3-year endpoint in the AF group was US$1874 higher than that in the CF group (US$8947±US$5684 vs US$7073±US$6360; p≤0.001).

Conclusions

FUICA increased the costs but did not improve clinical benefits. Thus, FUICA is not economically more attractive than CF alone.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare the detection of relevant extracardiac findings (ECFs) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and evaluate the potential clinical benefit of their detection.MethodsThis is the prespecified subanalysis of ECFs in patients presenting with a clinical indication for ICA based on atypical angina and suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) included in the prospective single-center randomized controlled Coronary Artery Disease Management (CAD-Man) study. ECFs requiring immediate therapy and/or further workup including additional imaging were defined as clinically relevant. We evaluated the scope of ECFs in 329 patients and analyzed the potential clinical benefit of their detection.ResultsECFs were detected in 107 of 329 patients (32.5%; CTA: 101/167, 60.5%; ICA: 6/162, 3.7%; p < .001). Fifty-nine patients had clinically relevant ECFs (17.9%; CTA: 55/167, 32.9%; ICA: 4/162, 2.5%; p < .001). In the CTA group, ECFs potentially explained atypical chest pain in 13 of 101 patients with ECFs (12.9%). After initiation of therapy, chest pain improved in 4 (4.0%) and resolved in 7 patients (6.9%). Follow-up imaging was recommended in 33 (10.0%; CTA: 30/167, 18.0%; ICA: 3/162, 1.9%) and additional clinic consultation in 26 patients (7.9%; CTA: 25/167, 15.0%; ICA: 1/162, 0.6%). Malignancy was newly diagnosed in one patient (0.3%; CTA: 1/167, 0.6%; ICA: 0).ConclusionsIn this randomized study, CTA but not ICA detected clinically relevant ECFs that may point to possible other causes of chest pain in patients without CAD. Thus, CTA might preclude the need for ICA in those patients.Trial registrationNCT Unique ID: 00844220 KEY POINTS: • CTA detects ten times more clinically relevant ECFs than ICA. • Actionable clinically relevant ECFs affect patient management and therapy and may thus improve chest pain. • Detection of ECFs explaining chest pain on CTA might preclude the need for performing ICA.

Project description:ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential prognostic value of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) and its gradient across the stent.BackgroundPost-PCI FFR and its gradient across the stent have been proved to be associated with clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the prognostic value of post-PCI coronary angiography-derived FFR and its gradient across the stent.MethodsPatients diagnosed with coronary heart disease and participated in drug-eluting stent (DES) clinical trials for stent implantation in a single center were included for this retrospective analysis. A novel coronary angiography-derived FFR (caFFR) and its gradient across the stent were calculated offline using two projections from coronary angiography performed after PCI. Clinical follow-up was completed at 9 months after the index procedure and the primary outcome was target vessel failure (TVF), defined as a composite of target vessel-related myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel-related revascularization (TVR), and cardiac death. Coronary angiography was also performed at the 9 months follow-up time to get data of late lumen loss (LLL) and percent diameter stenosis (%DS).ResultsA total of 159 vessels in 136 patients were analyzed. The mean value of post-PCI caFFR was 0.90 ± 0.06. The median value of trans-stent caFFR gradient (ΔcaFFRstent) was 0.04 (interquartile range 0.02-0.08). ΔcaFFRstent>0 was demonstrated in 147 vessels (92.45%). The TVF rate was significantly higher in patients with post-PCI caFFR < 0.90 (4 [8.16%] vs. 1 [1.15%], P = 0.037), which was mainly achieved by the difference between the TVR rate. In the subgroup with lesions located in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), post-PCI caFFR was an independent predictor of LLL (β = -1.07, 95% CI: -1.74 to -0.39, P = 0.002) and %DS at follow-up (β = -30.24, 95% CI: -56.44 to -4.04, P = 0.025), ΔcaFFRstent was an independent predictor of LLL (β=0.98, 95% CI:0.13-1.83, P = 0.026).ConclusionSuboptimal post-PCI caFFR and trans-stent caFFR gradient were common among vessels immediately after stenting. Lower post-PCI caFFR was associated with a higher rate of 9-month TVF. After LAD PCI, both post-PCI caFFR and its gradient across stent were independent predictors of the neointimal proliferation of the target vessel evaluated by LLL and %DS at follow-up.
