Abstract
The association between peripheral vascular disease and outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention was examined in the Do Tirofiban and Reopro Give Similar Efficacy Outcome Trial (TARGET). After adjustments in a multivariate model, a history of peripheral vascular disease was found to be associated with a two- to threefold increase in mortality at 1 year after coronary stent placement.
