CKD tied to higher prevalence of incomplete revascularization in Chronic coronary syndrome patients, reveals Indian Study

A study was done to determine the impact of CKD on the completeness of revascularization and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The study enrolled 400 CCS patients who underwent revascularization by PCI. They were separated into two categories according to their eGFR levels: the control group: 200 patients with eGFR ≥60mL/min/1.73m2, and the CKD Group: 200 patients with eGFR< 60ml/min/1.73m.2 Patients were reclassified according to revascularization into complete and incomplete revascularization groups with one-year follow-up to assess the MACE. Results: CKD patients were significantly older (65.78 ± 6.41 vs. 56.70 ± 9.20 years, P=<0.001). They had higher syntax scores (P = 0.005), CIN (P = 0.001), all-cause mortality (P = 0.02), MACE (P = 0.037), and heart failure (P = 0.014). After reclassification according to revascularization. GFR was significantly reduced among patients with incomplete revascularization (51.08 ± 28.15 vs. 65.67 ± 26.62, respectively, P =<0.001).

Repeated revascularization (P < 0.001), STEMI (P = 0.003), stent thrombosis (P = 0.015), MACE (P < 0.001), stroke (P < 0.001), and all-cause mortality (P < 0.001) were more prevalent among patients with incomplete revascularization. Multivariate regression analysis revealed eGFR (P = 0.001) and Syntax score (SS) (P=<0.001) as independent predictors of incomplete revascularization. The optimal eGFR cutoff value for predicting partial revascularization is 49.50mL/min/1.73m2, with 58.8% sensitivity and 69.3 % specificity. Chronic kidney disease is associated with a higher syntax score and incomplete revascularization prevalence in CCS patients. Additionally, incomplete revascularization is associated with an increased incidence of major adverse cardiac events. In patients with CCS, CKD predicts partial revascularization and subsequent MACE.
