Influence of Sex on Long-Term Outcomes After Implantation of Bare-Metal Stent

Abstract

Background-Female sex was reported to be associated with lower risk for midterm restenosis and repeat revascularization after bare-metal stent implantation. However, the influence of sex on very long-term outcomes after bare-metal stent implantation has not been yet reported. Methods and Results-Among the 9877 patients in the multicenter Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome study in Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) registry cohort-1, bare-metal stent implantation was performed in 5313 patients (men, n=3742 and women, n=1571). Follow-up was completed in 4515 patients (85.0%) at 10 years (duration, 10.3±3.1 [0.0-14.1] years). The cumulative incidence of target-lesion revascularization (TLR) was 27% at 1 year and 34% at 10 years (0.8%/y beyond 1 year). Non-target-lesion revascularization (non-TLR) was the dominant coronary revascularization beyond 1 year (13% at 1 year and 31% at 10 years [2.0%/y beyond 1 year]). Cumulative incidence of stent thrombosis was low (1.2% at 1 year and 1.9% at 10 years). Women were older and had greater prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors than men. The cumulative 10-year incidences of and adjusted risk for TLR were significantly higher in men than in women (36% versus 30%, P<0.001; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.46; P<0.001). The higher risk of men relative to women for TLR was consistent regardless of age (<75 years and ≥75 years). Men in comparison with women were also associated with significantly higher adjusted risks for all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery bypass grafting, TLR, and non-TLR. Conclusions-TLR and stent thrombosis continued to occur without attenuation up to 10 years after bare-metal stent implantation. Men in comparison with women were associated with higher adjusted 10-year risks for all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery bypass grafting, TLR, and non-TLR.

Effects of Age and Sex on Clinical Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Relative to Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Triple-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease

“…23 In the present study, clinical outcomes after CABG were also better in women compared with men except for stroke. Therefore, there was no significant sex-related difference in the effect of PCI relative to CABG for mortality, MI, HF hospitalization, and any Figure 4.…”

Trends in the Use of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Japan Between 2010 and 2017 ― An Epidemiological Survey ―

“…However, it has been reported that 18.3% of patients with post-myocardial infarction in European countries experienced some cardiovascular events within 1 year, 17 and 23.0% of patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation in Japan experienced non-target lesion revascularization within 5 years. 18 Therefore, CR, including disease management and behavioral changes for a healthier lifestyle, is highly recommended. 5 In addition, due to increases in the aging population and technological advances in medicine and surgery, the number of elderly patients undergoing cardiovascular (CV) surgery is gradually increasing.…”

Preparation and properties of biodegradable biomedical metal zinc alloy

“…However, there are problems such as immune reaction, formation of thrombus, stress masking around the implant, difficulty in revision surgery, and implant-related infection or fracture, which cause great pain to patients [4][5]. Therefore, the concept of degradable metallic implant materials, which can be gradually corroded by body fluids in vivo and completely dissolved during tissue healing, was proposed [6][7][8]. In this process, the load is gradually transferred to the healing tissues without the need for secondary surgical removal, which reduces patients' pain and the risk of secondary surgery and medical costs.…”
