Abstract

AIMS: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still unknown and debated. We sought to assess the incidence of adverse clinical events beyond 12 months after an ACS in patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and clopidogrel. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 1,592 consecutive ACS patients treated by PCI enrolled in the RECLOSE 2-ACS study and without event within one year, 1,310 (82%) patients presented at least one risk factor such as age ≥65 years, diabetes, prior myocardial infarction (MI), chronic kidney disease and multivessel coronary disease. The primary endpoint rate (the composite of cardiac death, MI, stroke and any urgent coronary revascularisation) was 3.7% per year after the first 12 months. The adverse event rate beyond 12 months was higher in patients with at least one risk factor as compared with patients without (8.1% vs. 1.8%, p<0.001). Each additional risk factor was associated with a relative risk for long-term adverse events of 1.66 (95% CI: 1.41-1.96; p=0.0001). Independent predictors of late events were age ≥65 years (OR 2.11, 95% CI: 1.38-3.37, p=0.002), insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (OR 2.29, 95% CI: 1.41-3.71, p=0.001), chronic kidney disease (OR 1.93, 95% CI: 1.21-3.09, p=0.006), prior MI (OR 2.71, 95% CI: 1.85-3.97, p=0.0001), and multivessel coronary disease (OR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.18-1.97, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Patients at risk of adverse events beyond 12 months after an ACS may be identified by simple clinical and angiographic characteristics such as age, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, prior MI and multivessel CAD. The risk of adverse events progressively increases with the number of these high-risk features.
