Abstract

Late morbidity and death as a result of progressive coronary vascular obliteration remains a major unsolved problem after orthotopic heart transplantation. Various percutaneous catheter intervention (PCI) methods have been used to treat transplant coronary artery disease (CAD), but few reports have assessed the longitudinal results of these procedures. Of 1,440 cardiac transplant patients at University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center, treated between 1984 and 2004, 65 patients who had undergone orthotopic heart transplantation underwent PCI on a total of 156 coronary artery lesions because of transplant CAD between July 1993 and August 2004. The procedural success rate was 93%. Angiographic follow-up was available for 42 patients and 101 lesions 9.5 +/- 5.8 months after PCI. The global restenosis rate was 36%. Multivariate analysis was used to assess 49 clinical, angiographic, and immunologic variables per lesion. The use of a cutting balloon increased the risk of restenosis (odds ratio 11.5, p <0.01) and the use of stents decreased the risk of restenosis (odds ratio 0.34, p <0.05) compared with other PCI methods. The restenosis rate with drug-eluting stents was 19%, lower than that with bare metal stents (31%). Of t...Continue Reading
