We investigated the 2-year efficacy of statin treatment according to baseline renal function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) not requiring dialysis undergoing newer-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. A total of 18,875 AMI patients were classified into group A (statin users, n = 16,055) and group B (statin nonusers, n = 2820). According to the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; ≥90, 60–89, 30–59 and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2), these two groups were sub-classified into groups A1, A2, A3 and A4 and groups B1, B2, B3 and B4. The major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent MI (re-MI) and any repeat revascularization, were evaluated. The MACE (group A1 vs. B1, p = 0.002; group A2 vs. B2, p = 0.007; group A3 vs. B3, p < 0.001; group A4 vs. B4, p < 0.001), all-cause death (p = 0.006, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively) and cardiac death (p = 0.004, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively) rates were significantly higher in statin nonusers than those in statin users. Despite the beneficial effects of statin treatment, the MACE (group A1 vs. A2 vs. A3 vs. A4: 5.2%, 6.4%, 10.1% and 18.5%, respectively), all-cause mortality (0.9%, 1.8%, 4.6% and 12.9%, respectively) and cardiac death (0.4%, 1.0%, 2.6% and 6.8%, respectively) rates were significantly increased as eGFR decreased in group A. These results may be related to the peculiar characteristics of chronic kidney disease, including increased vascular calcification and traditional or nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors. In the era of newer-generation DESs, although statin treatment was effective in reducing mortality, this beneficial effect was diminished in accordance with the deterioration of baseline renal function.

Introduction. Biolimus-eluting stents (BES) are known to be superior to bare-metal stents. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BES compared to other drug-eluting stents (DES) based on big data from the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (KAMIR). Methods. The study analyzed a total of 9,759 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DES. Total death, cardiac death, recurrent MI, revascularization, stent thrombosis, target lesion failure (TLF, composite of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), and target lesion revascularization), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE, composite of total death, recurrent MI, and revascularization) were analyzed in patients with AMI up to three years. Study populations were divided into BES (n = 2,020), everolimus-eluting stents (EES, n = 5,293), and zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES, n = 2,446) groups. Results. To adjust baseline potential confounders, an inverse probability weighting (IPTW) analysis was performed. After IPTW, at three years, total death (7.2%, 8.6%, and 9.5%, P < 0.001 ), cardiac death (4.1%, 5.3%, and 6.6%, P < 0.001 ), recurrent MI (1.6%, 2.6%, and 3.2%, P < 0.001 ), TLF (6.5%, 8.1%, and 9.1%, P < 0.001 ), and MACE (15.8%, 17.5%, and 18.2%, P < 0.001 ) were lowest in the BES group compared with the other DES groups in AMI patients. During the 3-year clinical follow-up, the BES group showed better outcomes of MACE (hazard ratio (HR), 0.773; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.676–0.884; P < 0.001 ), TLF (HR, 0.659; 95% CI, 0.538–0.808; P < 0.001 ), total death (HR, 0.687; 95% CI, 0.566–0.835; P < 0.001 ), and cardiac death (HR,0.593; 95% CI, 0.462–0.541; P < 0.001 ) than the EES groups. Conclusions. In this study, BES was superior to EES or ZES in reducing total death, cardiac death, TLF, and MACE in AMI patients.

AbstractWe investigated the effects of stent generation on 2-year clinical outcomes between prediabetes and diabetes patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 13,895 AMI patients were classified into normoglycemia (group A: 3673), prediabetes (group B: 5205), and diabetes (group C: 5017). Thereafter, all three groups were further divided into first-generation (1G)-drug-eluting stent (DES) and second-generation (2G)-DES groups. Patient-oriented composite outcomes (POCOs) defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI), and any repeat revascularization were the primary outcome. Stent thrombosis (ST) was the secondary outcome. In both prediabetes and diabetes groups, the cumulative incidences of POCOs, any repeat revascularization, and ST were higher in the 1G-DES than that in the 2G-DES. In the diabetes group, all-cause death and cardiac death rates were higher in the 1G-DES than that in the 2G-DES. In both stent generations, the cumulative incidence of POCOs was similar between the prediabetes and diabetes groups. However, in the 2G-DES group, the cumulative incidences of Re-MI and all-cause death or MI were significantly higher in the diabetes group than that in the prediabetes group. To conclude, 2G-DES was more effective than 1G-DES in reducing the primary and secondary outcomes for both prediabetes and diabetes groups.
