Dynamic coronary roadmap (DCR) is a novel technology that creates a real-time overlay of the coronary arteries in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and has the potential to reduce the contrast volume. However, the efficacy of DCR in terms of clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains to be fully elucidated.
This single center retrospective study enrolled 275 patients with CKD who underwent PCI, and divided them into a DCR group (n = 124) and Non-DCR group (n = 151). Propensity score matching was performed to minimize the differences in baseline characteristics in 113 patient pairs. The primary endpoint was a composite outcome of all-cause death, hospitalization for heart failure, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or the introductory rate of dialysis within 2 years. The secondary endpoints were contrast medium volume, the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), and the introductory rate of dialysis within 2 years.
Although there was no significant difference in the success rate (DCR group: 99.1% versus Non-DCR group: 98.2%; P = 0.561), contrast volume (92.20 mL versus 115.97 mL; P = 0.002) was significantly lower in the DCR group. CI-AKI incidence was 0.9% versus 6.2% in the DCR and Non-DCR groups, respectively (P = 0.031). The composite outcome defined as primary endpoint occurred in 10 patients in the DCR group and 20 patients in the Non-DCR group (8.8% versus 17.7%; P = 0.049).
From the perspective of acute and long-term clinical outcomes, DCR use may be effective for patients with CKD.
