Prognostic Value of Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography for Long-Term Major Adverse Cardiac Events after Liver Transplantation
- Abstract
- Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) has prognostic value for early major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) after liver transplantation. However, the association between CTCA and long-term MACEs in liver transplant (LT) recipients remains unknown. We evaluated the association between CTCA and long-term MACEs within 5 years after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). A total of 628 LDLT recipients who underwent CTCA were analyzed between 2010 and 2012. MACEs were investigated within 5 years after LDLT. The factors associated with long-term MACEs in transplant recipients were evaluated. Only 48 (7.6%) patients developed MACEs. In the Fine and Gray competing risk regression, a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of >400 combined with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) (subdistribution hazard ratio: 5.01, 95% confidence interval: 2.37-10.58, p < 0.001), age (1.05, 1.01-1.10, p = 0.018), diabetes mellitus (2.43, 1.37-4.29, p = 0.002), dyslipidemia (2.45, 1.23-4.70, p = 0.023), and creatinine (1.19, 1.08-1.30, p < 0.001) were independently associated with long-term MACEs. CACS (>400) combined with obstructive CAD may be associated with MACEs within 5 years after LDLT, suggesting the importance of preoperative noninvasive CTCA in LT recipients. The evaluation of coronary artery stenosis on CTCA combined with CACS may have a prognostic value for long-term MACEs in LT recipients.
