Determinants of One-Year Outcome After Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion; Insight from Japanese CTO-PCI Expert Registry.

ABSTRACT

Although outcomes have improved with new-generation drug-eluting stents, few reports have analyzed the risk factors associated with chronic outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the independent risk factors for target lesion revascularization (TLR) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) after CTO-PCI using Japanese multicenter data. A total of 3,666 patients, who underwent CTO-PCI and completed a 1-year follow-up, registered at the Japanese CTO-PCI Expert Registry from 2014 to 2019, were examined. The primary outcome was defined as TLR, and the secondary outcome was MACCEs at the 1-year follow-up. TLRs and MACCEs occurred in 175 (4.8%) and 524 (14.3%) patients, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that in-stent occlusion (ISO) (odds ratio [OR] 2.604, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.695 to 4.001), hemodialysis (OR 1.784, 95% CI 1.062 to 2.997), diabetes mellitus with insulin use (OR 1.741, 95% CI 1.060 to 2.861), moderate-to-severe calcification (OR 1.726, 95% CI 1.197 to 2.487), and the right coronary artery as the target vessel (OR 1.468, 95% CI 1.018 to 2.117) were significantly associated with TLR. Hemodialysis (OR 2.214, 95% CI 1.574 to 3.113), ISO (OR 1.499, 95% CI 1.127 to 1.993), arteriosclerosis obliterans (OR 1.414, 95% CI 1.074 to 1.863), and multivessel disease (OR 1.356, 95% CI 1.117 to 1.647) were significantly associated with MACCEs. One-year outcomes of new-generation drug-eluting stents for CTO-PCI were favorable, and ISO as a lesion factor and hemodialysis as a patient factor were strongly associated with TLR and MACCEs, respectively.
