Abstract
Background: Among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), severe aortic stenosis (AS) is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Although the use of mechanical circulatory support with Impella has been shown to improve 90-day outcomes in patients undergoing high-risk PCI (HRPCI), there is little information about the safety of this approach in pts with severe AS. We, therefore, sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes of Impella-supported HRPCI among patients with varying severity of AS.
Methods: We studied patients enrolled in PROTECT III—a multicenter study of patients undergoing Impella-supported HRPCI. Patients were classified according to the severity of AS: none/trivial, mild, moderate, and severe. The primary outcome was the rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 90 days, defined as the composite of all-cause death, MI, stroke/ TIA, and revascularization. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital PCI-related complications, stroke/TIA, and vascular complications requiring surgery.
Results: Of 596 patients with echocardiographic data, 490 had no/trivial AS, and 34, 27, and 45 had mild, moderate, or severe AS, respectively. Patients with AS were older, less likely to have diabetes, more likely to have left main disease, and had higher left ventricular ejection fractions (Table). Severely calcified lesions and the use of atherectomy were more frequent among patients with moderate or severe AS. There were no differences in rates of PCI-related complications, stroke/TIA, 30-day MACCE, or 90-day MACCE according to AS severity. Rates of transfusion were higher among patients with AS—regardless of severity.
Conclusion: Among patients undergoing Impella-supported HRPCI, PCI-related complications and 90-day outcomes did not differ based on AS status or severity.
