PG - 327-337 LID - 10.1007/s12928-023-00925-y [doi] AB - Symptoms of lower-extremity artery disease (LEAD) emerge from impaired vascularization in distal circulation of the extremities. Calcium channel blockers (CCB) can improve distal circulation when used as adjunctive therapy with endovascular treatment (EVT), but few studies have evaluated that. We investigated the relationship between CCB therapy and post-EVT outcomes. Through a consecutive EVT registry, we evaluated those relationships in whole cohort and the following 2 subgroups; the patients suffered from intermittent claudication (IC) or chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), with adjusting baseline characteristics by propensity score matchings. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, a composite endpoint of all death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke), and major adverse limb event (MALE, a composite of major amputation, acute limb ischemia, and surgical reintervention). The group that received CCB had less MALE in whole cohort (HR 0.31; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.20-0.47), and less MACCE and MALE in CLTI cohort (HR 0.67; 0.50-0.89 and 0.32; 0.20-0.52 respectively) compared to the group that did not receive CCB. The relationships were common in the cohorts with baseline adjustment. MACCE and MALE in IC (HR 1.01; 0.57-1.80 and 0.60; 0.25-1.45, respectively) showed no significant differences both with and without baseline adjustment. CCB use was related to fewer MACCE and MALE events in adjusted patients who underwent EVT, and the trend was more evident, especially in the adjusted CLTI cohort. This study highlights the necessity of future studies regarding CCB. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.umin.ac.jp ; Unique identifiers: UMIN000015100. CI - (c) 2023.
