Objective: To evaluate the impact of smoking status on the long-term prognosis of male patients with left main coronary artery lesions who received percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. A total of 3122 male patients with left main lesions who received percutaneous coronary intervention in our hospital were categorized by smoking status at admission: 1207 in the non-smokers group, 1339 in the current smokers group, and 576 in the ex-smokers group. The patients were followed up for 3 years. The main study endpoints were major cardiovascular adverse events (composite endpoints of all-cause death, all myocardial infarctions and revascularization) and target lesion failure (composite endpoints of cardiogenic death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, target vessel-related blood flow reconstruction). Results: The patients in the current smokers group was younger than the non-smokers group and the ex-smokers group (p<0.0001). In terms of prognosis, no statistical significance observed in the incidence of composite end point of MACE (p=0.9866), target lesion failure (p=0.2522), and stent thrombosis (p=0.2118), all-cause death (p=0.3130), cardiogenic death (p=0.2509), revascularization (p=0.5028), target vessel-related revascularization (p=0.9866), and stroke (p=0.3895), among the three groups. The current smokers group had the lowest incidence of myocardial infarction while ex-smokers group had the highest incidence rate(5.67%vs.5.10%vs.2.97%,p=0.0072), and so is the incidence of myocardial infarction related to target vessels (5.48%vs.5.10%vs.2.89%,p=0.0067). According to Cox regression analysis, history of myocardial infarction(HR=1.339,95%CI:1.042-1.722,p=0.0227), and baseline SYNTAX score(HR=1.0333, 95%CI:1.017-1.049,p<0.0001) are independent risk factors of MACE, while current smoking(HR=0.793,95%CI:0.646-0.974,p=0.0274) proves to be an independent protective factor of target vessel related myocardial infarction. Conclusion: For male patients with the left main coronary artery lesions receiving PCI, smoking has no impact on the long-term MACE or target lesion failure, current smoking is an independent protective factor for target vessel related myocardial infarction.
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.
