BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular obstruction /no-reflow(CMVO/NR) is a predictor of long-term mortality in survivors of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors of CMVO/NR. METHODS Totally 2384 STEMI patients treated with PPCI were divided into two groups according to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow grade:CMVO/NR group(246cases,TIMI 0-2 grade) and control group(2138 cases,TIMI 3 grade). We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors of CMVO/NR. RESULTS A frequency of CMVO/NR was 10.3%(246/2384). Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences between the two groups in age(unadjusted odds ratios [OR] 1.032; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.045; adjusted OR 1.032; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.046 ; P <0.001), periprocedural bradycardia (unadjusted OR 2.357 ; 95% CI, 1.752 to 3.171; adjusted OR1.818; 95% CI, 1.338 to 2.471 ; P <0.001),using thrombus aspirationdevices during operation (unadjusted OR 2.489 ; 95% CI, 1.815 to 3.414; adjusted OR1.835; 95% CI, 1.291 to 2.606 ; P =0.001),neutrophil percentage (unadjusted OR 1.028 ; 95% CI, 1.014 to 1.042; adjusted OR1.022; 95% CI, 1.008 to 1.036 ; P =0.002) , and completely block of culprit vessel (unadjusted OR 2.626; 95% CI, 1.85 to 3.728; adjusted-OR 1.656;95% CI, 1.119 to 2.45; P =0.012) were statistically significant ( P <0. 05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.6896 . CONCLUSIONS Age , periprocedural bradycardia, using thrombus aspirationdevices during operation, neutrophil percentage ,and completely block of culprit vessel may be independent risk factors for predicting CMVO/NR.

Background Abciximab reduces major adverse cardiac events in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intracoronary bolus application of abciximab results in high local drug concentrations and may be more effective than standard intravenous bolus application for reduction of infarct size, no-reflow and improvement in perfusion. Methods Patients undergoing primary PCI were randomized to either intracoronary (n=77) or intravenous (n=77) bolus administration of abciximab with subsequent 12 hour intravenous infusion. Primary endpoint was infarct size and extent of microvascular obstruction assessed by delayed enhancement magnetic resonance. Secondary endpoints were ST-resolution at 90 minutes, Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI)-flow and perfusion grade post PCI, and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events within 30 days. Results The primary endpoint infarct size could be reduced by absolute 7% (17.7% i.c. versus 24.7% i.v., p=0.005). Similarly, the extent of microvascular obstruction was significantly smaller in i.c. patients in comparison to i.v. patients (p=0.02). Myocardial perfusion measured as early ST-segment resolution was significantly improved in i.c. patients with an absolute ST-resolution of 76±23% versus 64±31% (p=0.009). The TIMI flow after PCI was not different between treatment groups (p=0.51), but there was a trend towards an improved perfusion grade (p=0.12). There was a trend towards a higher major adverse cardiac event rate after intravenous versus intracoronary abciximab application (15.6% versus 5.2%, p=0.06; relative risk 3.00; 95% confidence intervals 0.94 –10.80). Conclusions: Intracoronary bolus administration of abciximab is superior to standard intravenous treatment with respect to infarct size, extent of microvascular obstruction, and perfusion in primary PCI. An adequately powered trial for major adverse cardiac event reduction is warranted.
