Article Synopsis
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) worsens outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially in those categorized as high bleeding risk (HBR).
- In a study of 16,750 patients, those with PAD in the HBR group experienced higher rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at one year compared to non-PAD patients, while bleeding risks were also higher but not statistically significant.
- Once adjusting for other cardiovascular risks and comorbidities, the negative impact of PAD on adverse outcomes after PCI diminished significantly.
