Predictors, treatment, and long-term outcomes of coronary perforation during retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention via epicardial collaterals for recanalization of chronic coronary total occlusion.
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 2019 Februrary 16
OBJECTIVE: To investigate predictors, treatment, and long-term outcomes associated with coronary perforation (CP) in patients who underwent retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through epicardial collaterals for chronic total occlusion (CTO).
BACKGROUND: Data regarding CP during retrograde PCI through epicardial collaterals for CTO are scarce.
METHODS: We included 155 patients who underwent retrograde CTO PCI through epicardial collaterals at Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from August 2011 to December 2017. The median follow-up was 2.5 years. Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and independent predictors of long-term MACE were determined using a multivariable Cox model.
RESULTS: CP occurred in 24 (15.5%) patients, with the frequency of Ellis classes 1 or 2 and 3 being 41.7% and 58.3%, respectively. Seven (4.5%) patients had tamponade, which was effectively managed using coil embolization and pericardiocentesis. Renal dysfunction (odds ratio [OR]: 5.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-18.88; P = 0.011), right coronary artery (RCA) CTO (OR: 4.34; 95% CI: 1.29-14.63; P = 0.018), and Epi-CTO score ≥ 2 (OR: 3.27; 95% CI: 1.12-9.58; P = 0.030) were independent predictors of CP. At the 7-year follow-up, 17 patients had MACE. Multivariable analysis revealed that CP was not associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes (hazard ratio: 1.55; 95% CI: 0.45-5.32, P = 0.484).
CONCLUSIONS: Retrograde CTO PCI through epicardial collaterals is at increased risk of CP, which is associated with renal dysfunction, RCA CTO, and Epi-CTO score ≥ 2. Prompt and proper management of CP is important. CP is not significantly associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
