ACCF/AHA 2011 Guidelines for PCI in patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD)[1] (DO NOT EDIT)
Patients With Asymptomatic Ischemia or CCS Class I or II Angina[1]
Class III |
"1. PCI is not recommended in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina who do not meet the criteria as listed under the class II recommendations or who have 1 or more of the following:
|
Class IIa |
"1. PCI is reasonable in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina and with 1 or more significant lesions in 1 or 2 coronary arteries suitable for PCI with a high likelihood of success and a low risk of morbidity and mortality. The vessels to be dilated must subtend a moderate to large area of viable myocardium or be associated with a moderate to severe degree of ischemia on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. PCI is reasonable for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina, and recurrent stenosis after PCI with a large area of viable myocardium or high-risk criteria on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
"3. Use of PCIis reasonable in patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina with significant left main CAD (greater than 50% diameter stenosis) who are candidates for revascularization but are not eligible for CABG. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIb |
"1. The effectiveness of PCI for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina who have 2- or 3-vessel disease with significantproximal LAD CAD who are otherwise eligible for CABG with 1 arterial conduit and who have treated diabetes or abnormal LV function is not well established. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. PCI might be considered for patients with asymptomatic ischemia or CCS class I or II angina with non-proximal LAD CAD that subtends a moderate area of viable myocardium and demonstrates ischemia on noninvasive testing. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
Patients With CCS Class III Angina[1]
Class III |
"1. PCI is not recommended for patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multivessel CAD, no evidence of myocardial injury or ischemia on objective testing, and no trial of medical therapy, or who have 1 of the following:
|
Class IIa |
"1. It is reasonable that PCI be performed in patients with CCS class III angina and single-vessel or multi-vessel CAD who are undergoingmedical therapy and who have 1 or more significant lesions in 1 or more coronary arteries suitable for PCI with a high likelihood of success and low risk of morbidity or mortality. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. It is reasonable that PCI be performed in patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multi-vessel CAD who are undergoing medical therapy with focal saphenous vein graft lesions or multiple stenoses who are poor candidates for reoperative surgery. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
"3. Use of PCI is reasonable in patients with CCS class III angina with significant left main CAD (greater than 50% diameter stenosis) who are candidates for revascularization but are not eligible for CABG. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIb |
"1. PCI may be considered in patients with CCS class III angina with single-vessel or multivessel CAD who are undergoing medical therapy and who have 1 or more lesions to be dilated with a reduced likelihood of success. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. PCI may be considered in patients with CCS class III angina and no evidence of ischemia on noninvasive testing or who are undergoingmedical therapy and have 2- or 3-vessel CADwith significant proximal LAD CAD and treated diabetes or abnormal LV function. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Revascularization to Improve Survival: Non-Left Main Coronary Artery Disease[2]
Class I |
"1. CABG or PCI to improve survival is beneficial in survivors of sudden cardiac death with presumed ischemia-mediated ventricular tachycardia caused by significant (greater than or equal to 70% diameter) stenosis in a major coronary artery. (CABG (Level of Evidence: B) [3][4][5]; PCI (Level of Evidence: C) [3])" |
Class III (Harm) |
"1. CABG or PCI should not be performed with the primary or sole intent to improve survival in patients with stable ischemic heart disease with 1 or more coronary stenoses that are not anatomically or functionally significant (e.g., greater than 70% diameter non–left main coronary artery stenosis, fractional flow reserve 0.80, no or only mild ischemia on noninvasive testing), involve only the left circumflex or right coronary artery, or subtend only a small area of viable myocardium. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14](Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIa |
"1. It is reasonable to choose CABG over PCI to improve survival in patients with complex 3-vessel CAD (e.g., SYNTAX score greater than 22) with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery who are good candidates for CABG. [15][16][17][18][19] (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. CABG is probably recommended in preference to PCI to improve survival in patients with multivessel CAD and diabetes mellitus, particularly if a left internal mammary artery graft can be anastomosed to the LAD artery. [20][21][22][23][19][24][25][26][27] (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIb |
"1. The usefulness of PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with 2- or 3-vessel CAD (with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery) or 1-vessel proximal LAD disease. [28][7][15][29] (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. The usefulness of CABG or PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with previous CABG and extensive anterior wall ischemia on noninvasive testing. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] (Level of Evidence: B)" |
- PCI has been shown to reduce the frequency of anginal symptoms and improve exercise tolerance in patients with single and double-vessel coronary artery disease.[39][40][41]
- In patients with objective large ischemia associated with severe angina, PCI has shown to significantly reduce mortality and provide greater symptomatic improvement. However, on the contrary, patients with mild symptoms do not benefit from PCI.[42][43][44]
- Despite the high rates of restenosis associated with PCI, it may be beneficial for chronic total occlusions only in cases where the distal lumen could be accessed and favorable results could be obtained with stent implantation.
- In patients with refractory ischemia and severe LV dysfunction with ejection fraction less than 35% may benefit from PCI in comparison to CABG.
- In patients with unprotected left main disease associated with high peri-operative risk for CABG, PCI with stent implantation may be considered as an revascularization option.[45][46][47]
Supportive Trial Data
- The ACIP study, a randomized study of 558 patients with increased cardiac events, compared the 12-week efficacy of three treatment strategies such as medical therapy, medical therapy plus ambulatory ECG monitoring or revascularization to suppress cardiac ischemia. The goal of the study was to assess the feasibility of a prognosis trial in patients with asymptomatic cardiac ischemia, demonstrated both stress-inducible ischemia and two or more ischemic episodes on holter monitoring.[48] Two years after randomization (1997), the total mortality was significantly reduced from 6.6% in the angina-guided strategy to 4.4% in the ischemia-guided strategy and 1.1% in the revascularization strategy (p=less than 0.02). The rate of composite primary end-points was also significantly reduced from 41.8% in the angina-guided strategy to 38.5% in the ischemia-guided strategy and 23.1% in the revascularization strategy (p=less than 0.001). Researchers concluded that a strategy of initial revascularization appeared to improve the prognosis but longer-term study was needed to further establish this relationship. [49][49]
- The TIME study (2004) assessed the long-term survival and quality of life in 276 elderly patients with CCS class II or greater angina receiving atleast two anti-anginal medication at baseline. The study demonstrated similar long-term survival benefits observed in both the groups; however, freedom from major cardiovascular events remained higher in invasive therapy group versus the medical therapy group (39% versus 20%, p=less than 0.0001). Irrespective of whether patients were catheterized initially or only after failure to respond to medical therapy, their survival rates were better if they were revascularized within the first year.[50]
- The GISSOC trial (2003) studied the benefit of stent implantation over balloon PTCA for the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions in six-year clinical follow-up patients. The study demonstrated a significant reduction in the major adverse cardiovascular events observed in the stent group during a 6-year follow-up (76.1% in the stent group versus 60.4% in the PTCA group; p=0.055) and attributed this reduction secondary to the target lesion revascularization free-survival rate (85.1% in the stent group versus 65.5% in the PTCA group; p=0.0165). However, in most cases, restenosis of the study occlusion was evident at nine-month angiography. Thus, the study concluded stent implantation was superior to balloon PTCA in chronic total occlusions that can be recanalized percutaneously and is a valuable long-term therapeutic option; however, at nine-month follow-up both the stent and PTCA results appear to remain stable.[51]
- Similar benefits with stent implantation for chronic total occlusion were reported in few other studies such as:
- The SICCO trial (1996) reported a significant reduction in the target lesion revascularization (22% in the stent group versus 42% in the PTCA group; p=0.025) and restenosis (32% patients with stent and 74% patients with PTCA only; p=0.025) noted in the stent implantation group.[52]
- The TOSCA study (1999) demonstrated stent implantation significantly improved late patency and reduced the rates of restenosis (70% in the PTCA group versus 55% in the stent group; p=less than 0.01) and target-vessel revascularization (15.4% in the PTCA group versus 8.4% in the stent group; p=0.03). Hence, the study concluded stent implantation being superior to PTCA for non-acute coronary occlusions.[53]
- The SARECCO trial (1999) demonstrated a significant event free survival in the stent group observed during a 2-year follow-up (26% in the group that received angioplasty alone versus 52% in the stent group; p=less than 0.05).[54]
- The SPACTO trial (1999) demonstrated significant reduction in the rates of restenosis (29% in the stent group versus 72% in the PTCA group; p=less than 0.01) and reocclusion (3% in the stent group versus 24% in the PTCA group) observed in the stent group. At follow-up,there was also a significant reduction in cardiac events (p=less than 0.03) and marked improvement in the anginal class (p=less than 0.01) reported in the stent group.[55]
- The STOP study (2000) demonstrated significant reduction in the rate of restenosis (42.1% in the stent group versus 70.9% in the PTCA group; p=0.034) and reocclusion (7.9% in the stent group versus 16.1% in the PTCA group) observed with the stent implantation. However, stent group was associated with more a diffuse in-stent restenosis in comparison to a focal re-stenosis in the PTCA group that occurred at the point of total obstruction (within 5mm).[56]
- The PRISON study (2004) demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the need for target lesion revascularization (29% in the PTCA group versus 13% in the stent group; p=less than 0.0001) and a non-significant rate of restenosis was observed (33% in the PTCA group versus 22% in the stent group; p=0.137).[57]
- In the PACTO study (2004), 48 consecutive patients received paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation after successful recanalization of a chronic total occlusion, researchers assessed the efficacy of drug-eluting stent in comparison to bare metal stent for the treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions. At 1-year follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events was significantly reduced in the paclitaxel group (12.5% in the Taxus group and 47.9% in the BMS group; p=less than 0.001) which was secondary to reduced need for repeat revascularization. The secondary end-points included the rate of restenosis (8.3% in the Taxus group and 51.1% in the BMS group; p=less than 0.001) and reocclusion (2.1% in the Taxus group and 23.4% in the BMS group; p=less than 0.005) which was also significantly reduced in the paclitaxel group. Thus, the study concluded, paclitaxel-eluting stent drastically reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events and restenosis, and almost eliminated reocclusion, frequently observed with bare metal stents when used for chronic total occlusion.[58]
- The AWESOME trial and registry (2004) demonstrated the benefit of PCI over CABG in patients with refractory ischemia and who are at increased risk of adverse events, which may also be applicable to patients with left ventricular dysfunction.[59][60]
- In a sub-study (2002) of patients with prior CABG, the three-year survival rate between CABG and PCI groups did not differ significantly: 73% in the CABG group and 76% in the PCI group (p=NS). However, the patient choice registry reported that the patients with prior-CABG preferred PCI over repeat CABG.[61]
