    The study analyzed 9486 patients to assess the impact of body mass index on 10-year outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.

  • 2

    Underweight patients had a significantly higher risk of all-cause death compared to normal-weight patients, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.58.

  • 3

    Overweight patients showed a lower risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death compared to normal-weight patients, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.84.

  • 4

    Both overweight and obese patients had a higher risk of definite stent thrombosis within 30 days post-PCI, while obese patients had a lower risk of repeat revascularization.

  • 5

    The relationship between BMI and long-term outcomes demonstrated a U-shaped association, indicating varying risks for different BMI categories.
