Abstract
This study sought to investigate the incidence, management, and clinical relevance of atrial fibrillation (AF) during and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) and evaluate outcomes of different antithrombotic strategies. Uncertainty exists regarding the optimal antithrombotic strategy in patients with AF who are undergoing PCI with DES. Using a consecutive series of 10,027 patients who underwent DES implantation between 2003 and 2011, we evaluated the overall prevalence and clinical impact of AF. In addition, we compared the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin plus clopidogrel) and triple therapy (DAPT plus warfarin) among patients with AF. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Overall, 711 (7.1%) patients had a diagnosis of AF at the index PCI. Patients with AF were older, had more comorbid conditions, and more often had a history of strokes; most patients with AF (88.4%) received DAPT rather than triple therapy (10.5%) at discharge. The rate of primary outcome after PCI during the 6-year follow-up period was significantly higher in patients with AF than in those without AF (22.1% vs. 8.0%; p < 0.001)....Continue Reading
