This systematic review and meta-analysis found that the use of statins before lower-limb arterial angioplasty was associated with improved patency and overall survival, as well as decreased limb loss.
Backgroud Peripheral arterial disease can progress to critical limb ischemia, which requires revascularization. The endovascular approach is associated with a lower long-term patency due to restenosis resulting from neointimal hyperplasia. Statins offer significant advantages in patients undergoing percutaneous interventions. However, there are few studies on statin therapy associated with improved clinical outcomes after endovascular treatment in this patients. Aim This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the effects of statins (in comparison with no statin) on outcomes of lower-limb arterial angioplasty by evaluating patency, amputation and mortality. Method We searched MEDLINE, Academic Search Premier and CINAHL using a predetermined search strategy from inception to September 21, 2022. Study selection (first by title and abstract and then by full text) and data extraction was conducted by two independent reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. According to data availability, we conducted meta-analysis using RevMan v.5.4. Results The search identified 841 relevant articles and included 10 studies with 43,543 patients. Statin use in patients before undergoing lower-limb arterial angioplasty was associated with improved primary patency at 12 (12.57%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.86-18.28, p < 0.0001) and 24 months (7.19%, 95% CI 1.02-13.37, p = 0.02), decreased mortality in 39% at 12 months (relative risk (RR): 0.61, 95% CI 0.55-0.74, p < 0.00001) and decreased limb loss in 23% in the studied patients (RR: 0.77, 95% CI 0.65-0.91, p = 0.003). Conclusion Statin therapy before the procedure was associated with significantly improved patency and overall survival and decreased limb loss after lower-limb arterial angioplasty.
