The study examined the 10-year outcome in a cohort of 227 unselected, consecutive patients (age 58+/-10 years) undergoing coronary balloon angioplasty between 1984 and 1986 and followed in a single cardiac center (Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center registry). In particular, we sought to identify the relative importance of the systemic risk factors diabetes and hypertension and the extent of coronary disease as opposed to procedure-related technical variables, the immediate success of the procedure, or completeness of revascularization. By life-table analysis (99% follow-up), 94% of the patients were alive at 5 years, and 77% at 10 years after angioplasty. Ten-year survival was reduced in patients with diabetes mellitus (59% vs 83%, p = 0.0008), in patients with previous myocardial infarction (68% vs 85%, p = 0.01), in patients with ejection fraction <50% (55% vs 82%, p = 0.005), and in patients with 3-vessel disease (58% vs 84% and 86% for 1- and 2-vessel disease, respectively, p = 0.04). Diabetes mellitus was the major independent predictor of poor survival (adjusted odds ratio 3.1, 95% confidence interval 1.55 to 6.19, p = 0.001). Survival at 10 years was identical in 199 patients in whom angioplasty was complete and in 25 in whom the balloon catheter did not cross the lesion, although bypass surgery was more frequent in the latter group (45% vs 21%, p = 0.001). Incomplete revascularization did not predict poor survival (72% vs 79% with complete angioplasty, p = NS). Event-free survival at 10 years for the whole group was 29%, and 49% of patients survived with no event other than a single repeat angioplasty procedure. Multivessel disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus were independent predictors of decreased event-free survival, but incomplete revascularization was not. Thus, long-term outcome after coronary balloon angioplasty was related to diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, and extent of coronary disease, but not to the immediate success of the procedure or completeness of revascularization. |
