Comparison of Long-term Outcomes in Patients with Premature Triple-vessel Coronary Disease Undergoing Three Different Treatment Strategies: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Patients with premature triple-vessel disease (PTVD) have a higher risk of recurrent coronary events and repeat revascularization; however, the long-term outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and medical therapy (MT) alone for PTVD patients is controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of PTVD patients among these three treatment strategies, to find out the most appropriate treatment methods for these patients. METHODS:One thousand seven hundred and ninety-two patients with PTVD (age: men ?50 years and women ?60 years) were enrolled between 2004 and 2011. The primary end point was all-cause death. The secondary end points were cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization. RESULTS:PCI, CABG, and MT alone were performed in 933 (52.1%), 459 (25.6%), and 400 (22.3%) patients. Both PCI and CABG were associated with lower all-cause death (4.6% vs. 4.1% vs. 15.5%, respectively, P < 0.01) and cardiac death (2.8% vs. 2.0% vs. 9.8%, respectively, P < 0.01) versus MT alone. The rate of repeat revascularization in the CABG group was significantly lower than those in the PCI and MT groups. After adjusting for baseline factors, PCI and CABG were still associated with similar lower risk of all-cause death and cardiac death versus MT alone (all-cause death: hazard ratio [HR]: 0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.53, P < 0.01 and HR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.18-0.70, P = 0.003, respectively, and cardiac death: HR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.19-0.54, P < 0.01 and HR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.14-0.93, P = 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:PCI and CABG provided equal long-term benefits for all-cause death and cardiac death for PTVD patients. Patients undergoing MT alone had the worst long-term clinical outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThere are relatively limited data regarding real-world outcomes in very old patients with three-vessel disease (3VD) receiving different therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to perform analysis of long-term clinical outcomes of medical therapy (MT), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this population.MethodsWe included 711 patients aged ≥ 75 years from a prospective cohort of patients with 3VD. Consecutive enrollment of these patients began from April 2004 to February 2011 at Fu Wai Hospital. Patients were categorized into three groups (MT, n = 296; CABG, n = 129; PCI, n = 286) on the basis of different treatment strategies.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 7.25 years, 262 deaths and 354 major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) occurred. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the risk of cardiac death was significantly lower for CABG compared with PCI (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.475, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.232-0.974, P = 0.042). Additionally, MACCE appeared to show a trend towards a better outcome for CABG (adjusted HR = 0.759, 95% CI 0.536-1.074, P = 0.119). Furthermore, CABG was significantly superior in terms of unplanned revascularization (adjusted HR = 0.279, 95% CI 0.079-0.982, P = 0.047) and myocardial infarction (adjusted HR = 0.196, 95% CI 0.043-0.892, P = 0.035). No significant difference in all-cause death between CABG and PCI was observed. MT had a higher risk of cardiac death than PCI (adjusted HR = 1.636, 95% CI 1.092-2.449, P = 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that there was a significant interaction between treatment strategy (PCI vs. CABG) and sex for MACCE (P = 0.026), with a lower risk in men for CABG compared with that of PCI, but not in women.ConclusionsCABG can be performed with reasonable results in very old patients with 3VD. Sex should be taken into consideration in therapeutic decision-making in this population.

Project description:Background and objectivesWhether iron supplementation in patients on hemodialysis could be delivered by less frequent but higher single doses compared with the currently more common higher-frequency schedules of lower single iron doses is unknown.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe carried out an open-label, randomized, controlled noninferiority trial over 40 weeks in patients on prevalent hemodialysis (n=142). We administered in total 2 g iron as 100 mg iron sucrose biweekly in a continuous (20 × 100 mg) fashion or 500 mg ferric carboxymaltose every 10 weeks in a periodic (4 × 500 mg) fashion. The primary end point was the change in hemoglobin at week 40 from baseline with a noninferiority margin of -0.8 g/dl. Secondary end points were changes in ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent use.ResultsIn total, 108 patients completed the study. At 40 weeks, hemoglobin changed by -0.27 g/dl (95% confidence interval, -0.64 to 0.09) in the iron sucrose arm and by -0.74 g/dl (95% confidence interval, -1.1 to -0.39) in the ferric carboxymaltose arm compared with baseline. Noninferiority was not established in the per-protocol population as hemoglobin changes compared with baseline differed by -0.47 g/dl (95% confidence interval, -0.95 to 0.01) in the ferric carboxymaltose arm compared with the iron sucrose arm. Proportional changes from baseline to week 40 differed by -31% (98.3% confidence interval, -52 to -0.1) for ferritin, by 1% (98.3% confidence interval, -7 to 10) for transferrin, and by -27% (98.3% confidence interval, -39 to -13) for transferrin saturation in the ferric carboxymaltose arm compared with the iron sucrose arm. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dosing did not differ between groups. The overall number of adverse events was similar; however, more infections were observed in the iron sucrose arm.ConclusionsAn equal cumulative dose of ferric carboxymaltose administered less frequently did not meet noninferiority for maintaining hemoglobin levels compared with iron sucrose administered more frequently.Clinical trial registry name and registration numberComparison Study of Two Iron Compounds for Treatment of Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients (COPEFER), NCT02198495.
