Outcomes with prolonged clopidogrel therapy after coronary stenting in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract: Objectives-Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of death or myocardial infarction (MI) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). We assessed whether prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy beyond the recommended 12 months may prevent adverse outcomes in patients with CKD receiving drug-eluting stents (DES) or bare-metal stents (BMS).Methods-We studied all Veterans receiving PCI with BMS or first-generation DES in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System between 2002 and 2006, class… Show more

“…Between April 2002 and September 2006, 5,760 Veterans in the Veterans Health Administration (VA) received percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) per year [3]; this number doubled to 10,715 per year in the period from October 2007 to September 2013 [4]. Thrombotic CV events in CKD patients portend poor prognosis such that at 1-year post-PCI, Veterans with CKD had a 75% higher risk of death or thrombotic CV event compared to Veterans with normal kidney function, adjusted hazard ratio of 1.75 (95% CI 1.51-2.04) [3]. Veterans with CKD experience increased rates of hospitalization, adverse clinical outcomes, high disease burden to healthcare services, and high health care-related costs [5].…”

“…More recently, there is an increasing interest in the study of interventions in CKD patients. Antiplatelet therapy beyond 1 year after PCI with clopidogrel in patients with CKD was associated with a lower risk of death or MI [22] . In a subgroup analysis of the PLATO trial, patients with CKD treated with ticagrelor had a greater reduction in adverse events and mortality compared with non-CKD patients [23] .…”

“…20,[22][23][24] Moreover, a low response to clopidogrel might be an independent predictor of the poorer outcomes in these CKD patients. Nowadays, the use of higher than usual clopidogrel doses (600 mg as loading dose and 150 mg as maintenance dose), 25 longer therapy duration (beyond 12 months), 26 or alternative more potent thienopyridine agents such as prasugrel 27,28 or ticagrelor 29 have been proposed as ways to overcome the clopidogrel resistance in CKD. However, patients with CKD also have higher bleeding tendency.…”
