In addiction patient with Pad were more likely to have chronic total occlusion (Cto) (36% vs 24%, p = .002) and not-protected left main (18% vs 8%, p < .001). Clinical outcome at the time of follow-up (61±9.9 months) was as follows: Revascularization (43% vs 29%, p = .001), Cardiac death (20% vs 7%, p < .001), Mace (63% vs 40%, p < .001). Conclusion: This long-term registry shows that PAD remains an important clinical condition that influences the long-term outcome of patients undergoing PCI with stent implantation. Future research should investigate whether aggressive lifestyle changes, new drugs, and short-term clinical follow-up can reduce the substantial cardiovascular risk of subjects with Pad.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
