Evolução clínica pós-stent coronariano em pacientes submetidos a transplante de rim

Abstract: SummaryObjective: To assess the clinical outcome of renal transplant patients who developed coronary artery disease and were treated with coronary stenting (TCA-ST). Methods:Hospital do Rim e Hipertensão medical visits and phone calls. Results:drug-eluting stents.Conclusion: In conclusion, renal transplant patients who developed CAD and were treated with coronary stenting had a low rate of in-stent restenosis, probably related to the immunosuppressive regimen given to prevent kidney rejection.

“…In the general population, intrastent restenosis (which results from excessive neointimal proliferation after BMS implantation)occurs in 20% to 30% of cases, determining higher rates of target vessel reintervention than those observed in the present study. [13][14][15] This result may be associated with a potential benefit of the immunosuppressive therapy, reaffirming what has been suggested in previous studies [7][8][9]16 During the follow-up period,in one-quarter of the patients, mortality from all causes was the major component of the high occurrence of MACE. This high death rate is expected in this population group, since, in addition to the high underlying cardiovascular risk, the impaired immune capacity (caused by the chronic kidney disease itself and the use of immunosuppressants) is associated with a higher risk of developing severe comorbidities, such as infections and malignancies, which are potentially life-threatening.…”

“…Research on this subject is of considerable interest, since it not only allows for the evaluation of the influence of classical risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease, but also for speculation on the impact of the characteristics of renal transplantation recipients, including the use of already tested immunosuppressive drugs to reduce intrastent restenosis. [7][8][9] This study aimed to describe the late evolution in patients with a history of renal transplantation submitted to PCI with stenting.…”

“…In kidney transplant patients, everolimus may minimize or remove calcineurin inhibitors[76]. Interestingly, renal transplant patients with DES had a low rate of ST, probably related to the immunosuppressants given to prevent kidney rejection[77]. Everolimus has also been approved by the FDA for use in liver transplantation (LT), and is safe for use with tacrolimus within the first month after LT[78].…”
