Abstract

Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there are controversial reports regarding its impact in the current era of radial interventions. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that patients with PAD and patients without PAD undergoing PCI have similar major bleeding complications and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data collected from 6 New York metropolitan area tertiary care hospitals and submitted to the NCDR between 2010 and 2018. Major bleeding events were classified using Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classification. Severe bleeding was defined as a BARC ≥3. Hierarchical logistic regression was utilized to assess the association of PAD with post-PCI adverse outcomes, as appropriate. Results: A total of 2,933 PAD patients (9.4%) underwent PCI (without PAD, n = 28,172). Results are shown in the Table. PAD patients had a significantly higher odds of MACCE and major bleeding complications, including blood transfusions and in-hospital mortality. Access site bleeding and the need for post PCI dialysis did not reach statistical significance. A multivariable analysis will be presented. Conclusions: In conclusion, PAD continues to be a major risk factor for patients undergoing PCI. When compared with patients without PAD, these patients are at an increased risk of major adverse outcomes, including a 67% increase in mortality risk and a 44% in major bleeding complications risk.
