Ten-year clinical outcomes in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis according to the combined culprit lesion.


ABSTRACT:

Background

We assessed the long-term clinical outcomes of an intermediate lesion (IL) according to the presence of a combined culprit lesion (CCL).

Hypothesis

Long-term clinical outcomes of IL may be affected by the presence of a CCL.

Methods

Angiographic findings (n = 1096) and medical chart were reviewed. Patients with IL were divided into two groups: IL without CCL group (n = 383, 64.5%) and IL with CCL group (n = 211, 35.5%).

Results

The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the IL with CCL group were significantly higher than those in the IL without CCL group (death: 12.3% vs. 7.0%, myocardial infarction: 3.3%vs. 0.5%, stroke: 6.6% vs. 2.6%, and revascularization [RVSC]: 25.1% vs. 7.6%) during a mean follow up period of 118.4 ± 5.5 months. IL related RVSC rate in the IL with CCL group was higher than that in the IL without CCL group (5.7% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.020). RVSC rate related to IL in total subjects was lower than that related to stented lesion (3.4% vs. 6.4%). The important predictors of total MACE in total subjects were the presence of CCL, IL percent diameter stenosis, hypertension, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, blood glucose and ejection fraction. The predictors of IL related RVSC were IL percent diameter stenosis and IL located in the right coronary artery.

Conclusion

10-year clinical outcomes of an IL (especially IL without CCL) were better than those of stented lesions. This study suggests that the IL can be safely followed up in sites that do not have ability to assess functional study.
