Long-Term Clinical Impact of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury Following PCI: An ADAPT-DES Substudy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine correlates and consequences of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) on clinical outcomes in patients with or without pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD). BACKGROUND: The incidence and impact of CA-AKI on clinical outcomes during contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not fully defined. METHODS: The ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy With Drug Eluting Stents) study was a prospective, multicenter registry of 8,582 patients treated with ≥1 drug-eluting stent(s). CA-AKI was defined as a post-PCI increase in serum creatinine of >0.5 mg/dL or a relative increase of ≥25% compared with pre-PCI. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The primary endpoint was the 2-year rate of net adverse clinical events (NACE) All-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), definite or probable stent thrombosis, or major bleeding. RESULTS: Of 7287 (85%) patients with evaluable data, 476 (6.5%) developed CA-AKI. In a multivariable model, older age, female sex, Caucasian race, congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, CKD, presentation with ST-segment elevation MI, Killip class II to IV, radial access, intra-aortic balloon pump use, hypotension, and number of stents were independent predictors of CA-AKI. The 2-year NACE rate was higher in patients with CA-AKI (adjusted HR 1.88; 95% CI 1.42-2.49), as was each component of NACE (all-cause mortality, HR 1.77; 95% CI 1.22-2.55; MI, HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.18-2.36; definite/probable stent thrombosis, HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.10-2.65; and major bleeding, HR 1.38; 95% CI 1.06-1.80). Compared with the CA-AKI-/CKD- group, the CA-AKI+/CKD- (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.33-2.52), CA-AKI-/CKD+ (HR 1.56; 95% CI 1.15-2.13), CA-AKI+/CKD+ (HR 3.29; 95% CI 1.92-5.67), and maintenance dialysis (HR 2.67; 95% CI 1.65-4.31) groups were at higher risk of NACE. CONCLUSIONS: CA-AKI was relatively common after contemporary PCI and was associated with increased 2-year rates of NACE. Patients with pre-existing CKD were at particularly high risk for NACE after CA-AKI.
