Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different antiplatelet therapies for stable angina patients with complicated left main coronary artery lesions and intermediate metabolizer Cytochrome P450 2C19 gene (CYP2C19) undergoing PCI. METHODS: A total of 247 patients diagnosed with stable angina in cardiology department of Fujian union hospital from February 2015 to February 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, among them, the elective PCI were performed on the left main coronary artery and the CYP2C19 gene poly-morphism were intermediate metabolize, they were divided into ticagrelor treatment group(aspirin combined with ticagrelor, n=95)and clopidogrel treatment group(aspirin combined with clopidogrel, n=152) according to the different antiplatelet treatment programs. Both groups were given aspirin 300 mg and clopidogrel 300 mg orally before PCI; the ticagrelor group were given the maintenance dose of ticagrelor (90 mg orally, twice a day) after PCI, while those in clopidogrel group were clopidogrel 75 mg orally (once a day) after PCI; both groups were given the maintenance dose of aspirin (100 mg orally, once a day)after PCI. The major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were observed within 12 months after PCI. RESULTS: At 12 months after PCI, the incidence of MACE in the ticagrelor treatment group was significantly lower than that in the clopidogrel treatment group, the difference was statistically significant (2.1% vs 15.1%, P=0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups in the restenosis rates of non- revascularized target vessel, recurrent rates of angina pectoris(but not myocardial infarction), recurrent rates of myocardial infarction, and revascularization rates of target vessel (P > 0.05). There were also no significant differences between the two groups in bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: For stable angina patients with complicated left main coronary artery lesions and intermediate metabolizer CYP2C19 gene, aspirin combined with ticagrelor antiplatelet therapy after PCI is effective, the effect of ticagrelor is better than clopidogrel on MACE, and ticagrelor does not seem to increase the risk of bleeding.
