ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its cleaving protease a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I repeats 13 (ADAMTS13) are pivotal mediators of thrombosis and are associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. We investigated the impact of VWF, ADAMTS13 and VWF/ADAMTS13 on long-term major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).METHODS:
We analysed 701 patients undergoing PCI between 2003 and 2006. VWF and ADAMTS13 antigen levels were measured before PCI. As primary endpoint, we investigated MACE, a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke during 8 years of follow-up. As secondary endpoint, we investigated all-cause mortality.RESULTS:
Mean age was 63.8 years, 496 (70.8%) were male. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was diagnosed in 347 (49.5%) patients, stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) in 354 (50.5%). During follow-up 228 (32.5%) patients experienced MACE, and 161 (23.0%) died. In ACS patients, VWF was significantly associated with MACE (HR 1.402 (95%CI 1.003-1.959), p = 0.048), whereas ADAMTS13 and VWF/ADAMTS13 had no predictive value. In SCAD, neither VWF, ADAMTS13, nor VWF/ADAMTS13 correlated with MACE. VWF was significantly associated with all-cause death in ACS patients (HR 1.841 (95%CI 1.187-2.856), p = 0.006), but not in SCAD (1.394 (95%CI 0.856-2.269), p = 0.181). ADAMTS13 and VWF/ADAMTS13 were not correlated with ACS and SCAD, respectively.CONCLUSION:
VWF but not ADAMTS13 and VWF/ADAMTS13 was associated with MACE and mortality in patients with ACS but not SCAD. This finding highlights the importance of VWF as an essential marker of risk in patients with ACS.Palabras clave
