Abstract:Objective To evaluate the long-term therapeutic effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on revascularization in patients with coronary artery multi-vessel diseases (MVD). Methods A total of 429 patients who underwent successful PCI in our department from March 2010 to May 2011 were subjected in this study. Angiography was carried out on these patients one year after PCI. The rates of angina recurrence, angiographic restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were retrospectively analyzed during the follow-up of 12.9 months (ranging from 8 to 15 months). Results Among the 429 patients, complete revascularization was seen in 95.8% of patients (411/429). There was no death in hospital and follow-up time. The rates of angina recurrence and angiographic restenosis were 10.1% and 4.4% respectively. The rate of MACE accounted for 3.5%, which was mostly found in those receiving revascularization within 1 year after PCI. Revascularization improved their heart function and frequency of angina obviously, and promoted their quality of life and survival rate. Conclusion The PCI revascularization is an effective approach in patients with coronary artery disease, especially MVD. PCI strategy and rational implantation of drug eluting stent (DES) play key roles in long-term prognosis in the patients.
