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.
