Independent impact of peripheral artery disease on percutaneous coronary intervention
Journal of the American Heart Association Dec 11, 2020
Perl L, Bental T, Vaknin‐Assa H, et al. - Researchers investigated the independent influence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) on a large prospective percutaneous coronary intervention registry. They retrospectively examined 25,690 patients (years 2004–2018) in order to determine the impact of PAD on short‐ as well as long‐term results employing both regression and propensity‐matched analyses. In patients with PAD, vs control, there were higher 30‐day and 3‐year rates of all‐cause death and major adverse cardiac events. After multivariate analysis, a higher risk of both death and major adverse cardiac events was noted in relation to the presence of PAD. Overall, PAD was identified as an independent risk factor for adverse results in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention.
