Background: Left distal radial artery (LDRA) has got high popularity as an alternative safe access site in coronary angiography. However, little is known about its applicability in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We aimed to assess the convenience of LDRA access in STEMI patients and make the comparative evaluation with the transfemoral (TF) route. Materials and methods: A total of 91 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent PPCI from January to June 2019, were analyzed. Experienced operators, unaware of the study were left free of access site decision. Comparative demographic features and clinical outcomes were recorded during hospitalization. Results: LDRA was used in 30 patients, whereas 61 patients underwent a TF approach. Successful PPCI was achieved in high rates in both groups (LDR: 90% vs TF: 91.8%: p = 0.795). On admission, KILLIP (II, III) class was higher in the LDRA group (23.3% vs 3.4%), whereas stent thrombosis, arhythmias were higher in the TF group (0% vs 6.6% p = 0.151; 6.7% vs 18% p = 0.355 respectively). Puncture time was relatively similar between groups (28.63 vs 28.93 s p = 0.767). Fluoroscopy time, total radiation exposure and hospital duration was found lower in the LDRA group (10.11 vs 13.75 min p < 0.001; 917.87 vs 1940.91 mGy p < 0.001; 4.2 vs 6.2 days p = 0.024 respectively). In-hospital mortality was found higher in the TF group (0% vs 18% p = 0.013). Conclusion: In the acute management of STEMI, LDRA access site can be a convenient alternative to TF approach with shorter hospital duration and complication rates.

Background: The effects of intracoronary (IC) thrombolysis therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remain unclear. Methods: The meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA statement. All relevant studies were identified by searching the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, with no time or language limitation. The pooled risk ratio (RR) and weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95% CI were calculated. Results: Nine randomized controlled trials involving a total of 1341 patients were included. Compared with the control group, IC thrombolysis in patients with STEMI could reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE; RR 0.632, 95% CI, 0.474-0.843, P = .002) and improve left ventricular ejection fraction (RR 0.343, 95% CI, 0.178-0.509, P < .001) and myocardial microcirculation. However, there was no difference noted in the mortality (RR 0.759, 95% CI, 0.347-1.661, P = .490). The incidence rate of major bleeding and minor bleeding was comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Intracoronary thrombolysis was associated with improved MACE and myocardial microcirculation in patients with STEMI having PPCI, though it failed to improve mortality.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular guidelines recommend adjunct glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) only in selected patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Purpose This study aimed to evaluate routine GPI use in STEMI treated with primary PCI. Methods Online databases were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of routine GPI vs. control therapy in STEMI. Data from retrieved studies were abstracted and evaluated in a comprehensive meta-analysis using Mantel-Haenszel estimates of risk ratios (RR) as summary statistics. Results After systematic review, twenty-one RCTs with 8,585 patients were included: ten trials randomized tirofiban (T), nine abciximab (A), one eptifibatide (E), one trial used A+T; only one trial used DAPT with prasugrel/ ticagrelor. Routine GPI were associated with a significant reduction in all-cause mortality at 30 days (2.4% (GPI) vs. 3.2%; risk ratio (RR) 0.72; p=0.01) and 6 months (3.7% vs. 4.8%; RR 0.76; p=0.02), and a reduction in recurrent MI (1.1% vs. 2.1%; RR 0.55; p=0.0006), repeat revascularization (2.5% vs. 4.1%; RR 0.63; p=0.0001), TIMI flow <3 after PCI (5.4% vs. 8.2%; RR 0.61; p<0.0001) and ischemic stroke (RR 0.42; p=0.04). Major (4.7% vs. 3.4%; RR 1.35; p=0.005) and minor bleedings (7.2% vs. 5.1%; RR 1.39; p=0.006) but not intracranial bleedings (0.1% vs. 0%; RR 2.7; p=0.37) were significantly increased under routine GPI. Conclusions Routine GPI administration during primary PCI in STEMI resulted in mortality reduction, driven by reductions in recurrent ischemic events – however predominantly in trials pre-prasugrel/ticagrelor. Trials in contemporary STEMI management are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract Aims The aim of this work was to investigate the prognostic impact of revascularization of non-culprit lesions in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease by performing a meta-analysis of available randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Methods and results Data from six RCTs comparing complete vs. culprit-only revascularization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease were analysed with random effect generic inverse variance method meta-analysis. The endpoints were expressed as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). The primary outcome was cardiovascular death. Main secondary outcomes of interest were all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and repeated coronary revascularization. Overall, 6528 patients were included (3139 complete group, 3389 culprit-only group). After a follow-up ranging between 1 and 3 years (median 2 years), cardiovascular death was significantly reduced in the group receiving complete revascularization (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39–0.97, I2 = 29%). The number needed to treat to prevent one cardiovascular death was 70 (95% CI 36–150). The secondary endpoints MI and revascularization were also significantly reduced (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55–0.84, I2 = 0% and HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.22–0.38, I2 = 36%, respectively). Needed to treats were 45 (95% CI 37–55) for MI and 8 (95% CI 5–13) for revascularization. All-cause death (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.56–1.16, I2 = 27%) was not affected by the revascularization strategy. Conclusion In a selected study population of STEMI patients with multivessel disease, a complete revascularization strategy is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular death. This reduction is concomitant with that of MI and the need of repeated revascularization.
