Abstract

Background: Real-world data on target vessel of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was still limited.

Hypothesis: A prospective cohort was examined to determine the frequency and outcomes of native coronary artery PCI versus bypass graft PCI in patients with prior CABG.

Methods: A large-sample observational study enrolled a total of 10 724 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent PCI in 2013. Two- and five-year clinical outcomes were compared between graft PCI group and native artery PCI group in patients with prior CABG.

Results: A total of 438 cases had CABG history in the total cohort. Graft PCI group and native artery PCI group accounted for 13.7% and 86.3%, respectively. The rates of 2- and 5-year all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) showed no significant difference between the two groups (p > .05). Two-year revascularization risk was lower in graft PCI group than native artery PCI group (3.3% and 12.4%, p < .05), but 5-year myocardial infarction (MI) risk was higher (13.3% and 5.0%, p < .05). In multivariate COX regression models, graft PCI group was independently associated with lower 2-year revascularization risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.21; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05-0.88; p = .033), but higher 5-year MI risk than native artery PCI group (HR: 2.61; 95% CI: 1.03-6.57; p = .042). Five-year all-cause death and MACCE risk showed no difference between the two groups in model.

Conclusions: In patients with prior CABG underwent PCI, patients in graft PCI group had higher 5-year MI risk than patients received native artery PCI. But, 5-year mortality and MACCE was not significantly different between graft PCI group and native artery PCI group.
