摘要

Patients with peripheral artery disease undergoing lower extremity revascularization remain at high risk for cardiovascular events despite intervention. This retrospective analysis of 289 participants examined the relationship between pre-procedural bleeding history and post-procedural outcomes using a modified International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis bleeding assessment tool. After median 18-month follow-up, participants with significant bleeding history experienced lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (18.4% versus 30.6%, p = 0.034) and mortality (13.6% versus 24.2%, p = 0.047). An inverse exposure-outcome relationship was observed between bleeding severity and outcomes. Bleeding history may identify patients at lower risk for thrombotic complications.
