Preoperative Cessation of Both Dual Anti-Platelet Agents Is Safe after 1 Year in Patients Receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the atherothrombotic and bleeding risk of discontinuing both components of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) before surgery in patients with an intracoronary stent after 1 year. Methods:We retrospectively enrolled 212 patients who received an evaluation of perioperative cardiac risk and underwent surgery from March 2017 to March 2019. We divided them into 2 groups: the discontinuation of both antiplatelet agents group (DCAP, no use of any antiplatelet agent) and the continuation of at least 1 antiplatelet agent group (CAP). The primary composite endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including death, angina, postoperative coronary angiography, stroke, and readmission within 30 days postoperatively. The second endpoint was bleeding requiring the transfusion of ?2 packs of red blood cells (RBCs). Result:A total of 136 patients were enrolled in the study, with 68 in the DCAP group and 68 in the CAP group. The occurrence of MACE did not significantly differ between the groups (25% vs. 17.6%, p=0.295). The incidence of bleeding that required a transfusion was higher in the CAP group (16.2% vs. 30.9%, p=0.044). The postoperative change in hemoglobin levels (-1.9 g/dL vs. -1.8 g/dL, p=0.742), and the number of transfused packs of RBCs (3.5 vs. 5.3, p=0.347) were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion:Preoperative discontinuation of DAPT did not increase the risk of MACE. However, continuation of at least 1 antiplatelet agent increased the incidence of bleeding requiring RBC transfusion. Further research with a large cohort is warranted.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In this meta-analysis, we aimed to systematically compare the post percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) adverse bleeding events, stent thrombosis, stroke and other cardiovascular outcomes in a population of patients with and without thrombocytopenia at baseline who were followed up on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). METHODS:Relevant English language articles which were published before June 2019 were retrieved from MEDLINE, http://www.ClinicalTrials.com, EMBASE, Cochrane central, and Google scholar briefly using specific terms such as percutaneous coronary intervention or dual antiplatelet therapy, and thrombocytopenia. All the participants were followed up on DAPT following discharge. Specific endpoints including bleeding events, stent thrombosis, stroke and other adverse cardiovascular events were assessed. The latest version of the RevMan software was used for the statistical assessment. Odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on a fixed or a random statistical model were used to represent the data graphically. RESULTS:A total number of 118,945 participants (from 8 studies) were included with 37,753 suffering from thrombocytopenia at baseline. Our results showed post procedural bleeding (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.16-3.07; P?=?0.01), access site bleeding (OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.15-2.39; P?=?0.006), intra-cranial bleeding (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.30-2.43; P?=?0.0003), gastro-intestinal bleeding (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 1.14-1.82; P?=?0.002) and any major bleeding (OR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.42-1.97; P?=?0.00001) to be significantly higher in thrombocytopenic patients treated with DAPT after PCI. Total stroke (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.18-1.78; P?=?0.0004) specifically hemorrhagic stroke (OR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.30-2.14; P?=?0.0001) was also significantly higher in these patients with thrombocytopenia at baseline. All-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events were also significantly higher. However, overall total stent thrombosis (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 0.90-1.55; P?=?0.24) including definite and probable stent thrombosis were not significantly different compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS:According to the results of this analysis, DAPT might have to be cautiously be used following PCI in a population of patients with thrombocytopenia at baseline due to the significantly higher bleeding rate including gastro-intestinal, intra-cranial bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke. Hence, special care might have to be taken when considering anti-platelet agents following PCI in these high risk patients. However, considering the present limitations of this analysis, this hypothesis will have to be confirmed in future trials.

Project description:Background:High platelet reactivity (HPR) and low platelet reactivity (LPR) are associated with an increased risk of ischemic/bleeding events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The role platelet miRNAs carry out in platelet reactivity regulation is largely unknown. Methods:In this study, we profiled the expression pattern of platelet miRNA in patients undergoing PCI with HPR (n=4) and LPR (n=4) by miRNA microarray screening. The candidate miRNAs were further validated in a larger sample of 17 LPR and 22 HPR patients by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and miR-15b was found differentially expressed. MiR-15b mimic and inhibitor were transfected into MEG-01 cells, then Bcl-2 protein expression and cell apoptosis were assessed. The relationship between platelet reactivity and platelet apoptosis was further evaluated. ABT-737, a Bcl-2 inhibitor was used to induce platelet apoptosis in PCI patients in vitro, and the influence of enhanced platelet apoptosis on platelet reactivity was explored. Results:Two miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in patients with LPR and HPR using microarray system. Furthermore, the expression of miR-15b, a miRNA known to induce cell apoptosis via targeting of Bcl-2, was confirmed by RT-qPCR (P=0.020) to be 1.4× higher in the platelets of LPR patients than in those of HPR patients. Overexpression of miR-15b was demonstrated to suppress Bcl-2 protein expression and enhance cell apoptosis in a megakaryocyte cell line (MEG-01). The platelets of LPR patients expressed lower levels of Bcl-2 protein than those of HPR patients, and an inverse relationship between platelet reactivity and platelet apoptosis was observed among 44 patients who underwent PCI. Inducing platelet apoptosis in PCI patients in vitro, we observed that their platelet reactivity was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions:Through the promotion of platelet apoptosis, platelet miR-15b negatively regulates platelet reactivity in patients undergoing PCI. Platelet apoptosis may represent a novel antiplatelet target for overcoming HPR in PCI treatment.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical utility of individualising dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in an all-comers population, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. SETTING:Tertiary care single centre registry. PARTICIPANTS:1008 consecutive PCI patients with stent implantation, without exclusion criteria. INTERVENTION:Peri-interventional individualisation of DAPT, guided by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA), to overcome high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) to ADP-induced (?50 U) and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced aggregation (>35 U). OUTCOME MEASURES:The primary efficacy end point was definite stent thrombosis (ST) at 30 days. The primary safety end point was thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major and minor bleeding. Secondary end points were probable ST, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and the combined end point: major cardiac adverse event (MACE). RESULTS:53% of patients presented with acute coronary syndrome (9% STEMI, 44% non-ST-elevation). HPR to ADP after 600 mg clopidogrel loading occurred in 30% of patients (73±19 U vs 28±11 U; p<0.001) and was treated by prasugrel or ticagrelor (73%), or clopidogrel (27%) reloading (22±12 U; p<0.001). HPR to ADP after prasugrel loading occurred in 2% of patients (82±26 U vs 19±10 U; p<0.001) and was treated with ticagrelor (34±15 U; p=0.02). HPR to AA occurred in 9% of patients with a significant higher proportion in patients with HPR to ADP (22% vs 4%, p<0.001) and was treated with aspirin reloading. Definite ST occurred in 0.09% of patients (n=1); probable ST, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death and MACE occurred in 0.19% (n=2), 0.09% (n=1) and 1.8% (n=18) of patients. TIMI major and minor bleeding did not differ between patients without HPR and individualised patients (2.6% for both). CONCLUSIONS:Individualisation of DAPT with MEA minimises early thrombotic events in an all-comers PCI population to an unreported degree without increasing bleeding. A randomised multicentre trial utilising MEA seems warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:http://www.clinicaltrials.gov; NCT01515345.

Project description:IntroductionDual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is routinely given to patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting; however, there is ongoing debate about the optimal duration, especially in specific patient groups. In the proposed systematic review, we intend to assess the optimal duration of DAPT following PCI with stenting, with a focus on clinically relevant patient subgroups.Methods and analysisWe will perform a comprehensive search of the published literature for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the benefits and harms of extended DAPT (>12 months) compared with short-term DAPT (6-12 months) following PCI with stenting (bare metal or drug eluting). ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP will also be searched to identify ongoing and completed clinical trials. Two independent reviewers will select studies for inclusion, and the risk of bias will be assessed by use of Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool. The primary outcome of interest is death (all-cause, cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular). Secondary outcomes are bleeding (major, minor, gastrointestinal), urgent target vessel revascularisation, major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke and stent thrombosis. Subgroup data will be sought for patients with prior myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome at presentation and diabetes, and based on smoking status and age group. Data will be analysed by random-effects meta-analysis, and separate analyses will be performed for patient subgroups. Bayesian network meta-analysis will be performed to investigate the effect of individual P2Y12 inhibitors at different DAPT durations longer than 6 months.Ethics and disseminationThis review will provide a comprehensive overview of the available evidence of the benefits and harms associated with extending DAPT beyond 12 months following PCI with stenting and the effects on clinically important subgroups. The results of this review will inform clinical and policy decisions regarding the optimal treatment duration of DAPT following PCI with stenting.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO no.

Project description:There are few reports on the long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with frailty. This novel study investigated the association between pre-PCI frailty and long-term clinical outcomes in elderly patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI. We assessed 239 consecutive patients aged 65 years or older with stable CAD who underwent successful elective PCI at Kagoshima City Hospital between January 1st, 2017 and December 31st, 2020. Frailty was retrospectively assessed using the Canadian Study and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Based on the pre-PCI CFS, patients were divided into two groups: the non-frail (CFS < 5) and the frail (CFS ≥ 5) group. We investigated the association between pre-PCI CFS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) defined as the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and heart failure requiring hospitalization. Additionally, we assessed the association between pre-PCI CFS and major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding. The mean age was 74.8 ± 7.0 years, and 73.6% were men. According to the pre-PCI frailty assessment, 38 (15.9%) and 201 (84.1%) were classified as frail and non-frail groups, respectively. During a median follow-up of 962 (607-1284) days, 46 patients developed MACEs and 10 patients developed major bleeding events. Kaplan-Meier curves showed a significantly higher incidence of MACE in the frail group compared to those in the non-frail group (Log-rank p < 0.001). Even in multivariate analysis, pre-PCI frailty (CFS ≥ 5) was independently associated with MACE (HR 4.27, 95% CI 1.86-9.80, p-value: < 0.001). Additionally, the cumulative incidence of major bleeding events was significantly higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (Log-rank p = 0.001). Pre-PCI frailty was an independent risk factor for MACE and bleeding events in elderly patients with stable CAD who underwent elective PCI.
