Impact of periprocedural major adverse events on 10-year mortality after revascularisation

EuroInterventionPublished Secondary analysis of the SYNTAXES study

Authors' conclusion

In patients with complex CAD, non-fatal PMAE were more common following CABG than PCI, but their prognostic impact was similar, being significant in the first year and then diminishing out to 10 years.

Study context

Population
Patients with three-vessel disease and/or left main disease enrolled in the SYNTAXES study
Comparison
Non-fatal periprocedural major adverse events (PMAE) vs no PMAE after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
Primary endpoint
All-cause mortality by non-fatal PMAE within 30 days of PCI or CABG
Follow-up
10 years

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Non-fatal PMAE and all-cause mortality
  • Non-fatal PMAE an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in the first year post-procedure, but not at 5 or 10 years, in both PCI and CABG

Further findings

Non-fatal PMAE incidence · within 30 days

P < 0.001

SSII-2020 10-year mortality predictions

PMAE substantially alter individual predictions of 10-year mortality by SSII-2020

Optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients with non-fatal PMAE

OMT may provide survival benefits in the first year and long term
