There is a scarcity of data on ischemic and bleeding events in patients who experienced major bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Moreover, there also is a shortage of data on comparative outcomes between patients with and without interruption of an antithrombotic drug after major bleeding. We evaluated the incidence and prognostic impacts of ischemic (myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke) and bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5) events after major bleeding in 12,691 consecutive patients who underwent first PCI in the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study in Kyoto PCI registry cohort-3. In the entire cohort, incidence of the first ischemic event and bleeding event was 2.3 per 100 person-years and 3.8 per 100 person-years, respectively. Major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3) occurred in 2,142 patients during a median follow-up of 5.7 years. In patients with major bleeding, cumulative 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year incidence of an ischemic event was 2.6%, 4.8%, and 13.2% (3.2 per 100 person-years), respectively, whereas that of a bleeding event was 6.3%, 16.1%, and 29.2% (8.5 per 100 person-years), respectively. Ischemic and bleeding events were independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio 2.36, 95% confidence interval 1.87 to 2.96, p <0.001, and hazard ratio 2.85, 95% confidence interval 2.42 to 3.37, p <0.001). The cumulative 180-day incidence of ischemic and bleeding events was not significantly different between patients with and without interruption of an antithrombotic drug in patients with major bleeding. In conclusion, the incidence of an ischemic event after the first major bleeding was approximately 1/3 of that of recurrent major bleeding, and the rates of ischemic and bleeding events after the first major bleeding were higher than the rates of first events in the general PCI population. Both ischemic events and bleeding events were strongly associated with subsequent mortality. The incidence of ischemic and recurrent bleeding events was not different between patients with and without interruption of an antithrombotic drug.
