- Abstract
- Objectives: We sought to evaluate the impact of final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) after simple stent implantation for the treatment of non-left main true coronary bifurcation lesions in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Background: Whether FKBI should be mandatory after simple stent implantation for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesion is controversial. Besides, ACS patients who have undergone bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention with simple stent implantation may experience worse prognosis compared to stable angina pectoris patients. Methods: Two hundred and fifty one eligible patients (67.7% male, mean age 61.7 +/- 10.4 years) were enrolled. The study population was divided into two groups according to the performance of FKBI. The primary end points were major adverse cardiac event (MACE); target lesion revascularization (TLR), non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac death during the follow-up period. Results: Over a mean follow-up period of 3.0 +/- 1.9 years, there were 29 MACEs (10 TLR, 6 non-fatal MI, and 13 cardiac deaths), representing an event rate of 11.6%. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that FBKI group had favorable outcome compared to non-FKBI group with regard to hard events (p = 0.010) as well as composite MACEs (p = 0.008). In multivariable analysis, FKBI was a significant predictor of composite MACEs [hazard ratio 0.398 (95% confidence interval 0.190-0.836, p = 0.015)] and hard events [hazard ratio 0.325 (95% confidence interval 0.130-0.811, p = 0.016)]. Conclusions: In terms of prognosis, performing FKBI after simple stent implantation for the treatment of non-left main true coronary bifurcation lesions may be mandatory in ACS patients.
