Abstract:
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of co-administration of aspirin and low-dose clopidogrel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after 1 year.Methods From March 2004 to September 2010,a total of 3366 patients with successful drug-eluting stents implantation after 1 year were divided into group A (aspirin combined with low-dose clopidogrel,n=1682) and group B (aspirin alone,n=1684).The average follow-up period was (29.5±16.3) months (19 months-76 months).The major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and clinical complications were evaluated.Results Rates of cardiovascular death were 0.1 ％(2 cases) in combination group and 0.9％ (15 cases) in aspirin group,the risk ratio (HR) was 0.154 [(95％ CI:0.035 0.675),P＜0.05].Myocardial infarction occurred in 9 patients (0.5％) in group A and 27 patients (1.6％) in group B,the risk ratio (HR) was 0.036 [(95％ CI:0.153-0.741),P＜0.01].Rates of stroke were 0.4％ (7 cases) in group A and 1.6％ (27 cases) in group B,the risk ratio (HR) was 0.301 [(95％ CI:0.131 0.693),P ＜ 0.01].Recurrent ischemia with rehospitalization occurred in 152 patients (9.0％) in group A and 274 patients (16.3％) in group B,the risk ratio (HR) was0.601 [(95％ CI:0.491-0.735),P＜0.01].The cumulative survival rate in patients died of cardiac causes was significantly better in group A than in group B (P＜0.01).The cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was significantly lower in group A than in group B (P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in total number of deaths,target vessel revascularization,stent thrombosis,incidences of severe bleeding,mild bleeding,leukopenia and thrombocytopenia between the two groups (all P＞0.05).Conclusions In patients with PCI after 1 year,the co-administration of aspirin and low-dose clopidogrel reduces the risks of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,and does not increase the risks of bleeding and cytopenia.
