Simultaneous ST-segment elevation (SST-SE) in anterior and inferior leads in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is often confounding for a cardiologist and further more challenging is the angiographic localization of the culprit vessel. SST-SE can be fatal as it jeopardizes simultaneously a larger area of myocardium. This phenomenon could be due to “one lesion, one artery,” “two lesions, one artery,” “two lesions, two arteries,” or combinations in two different coronary arteries. We have discussed an index case where we encountered a phenomenon of SST-SE and coronary angiography demonstrated “two lesions, one artery” (proximal occlusion and distal critical diffuse stenoses of the wrap-around left anterior descending [LAD] artery) and “two lesions, two (different coronary) arteries” (previously mentioned stenoses of the LAD artery and critical stenosis of the posterolateral branch of the right coronary arteries). We have also described in brief the possible causes of this phenomena and their electroangiographic correlation of the culprit vessels.

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.

Background: There is little recent data describing the characteristics and outcomes of STEMI patients who do not undergo urgent reperfusion. Methods: Using the ACTION Registry®-GWTG™ database, we examined 232,208 STEMI patients presenting January 2007 through December 2013 at 793 U.S. centers. The cohort was divided into those who underwent reperfusion (n=194,916; 84%), had documented contraindication to reperfusion (n=31,518; 13.5%) and were eligible but not reperfused (n=5,774; 2.5%). Clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared between these groups. Results: Compared with those reperfused, patients not reperfused were older, more often female and had higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, MI, stroke and atrial fibrillation. LBBB and CHF were more common in the non-reperfused groups upon presentation. The major documented contraindications to reperfusion were unsuitable anatomy for primary PCI (31%), symptoms onset > 12 hours (9%), patient/family refusal/DNR status (6%), resolved chest pain (6%) and ST elevation (5%) presentation to non-PCI centers (4%). Three-vessel disease and in-hospital CABG were more common in non-reperfused patients with and without contraindication compared with those receiving reperfusion (39 & 37% vs. 26%, p<0.001) and (17 & 17% vs. 3%, p<0.001 respectively). In-hospital outcomes are summarized in the table. Conclusion: Most STEMI patients who were not reperfused had a documented contraindication. Unsuitable anatomy for PCI was the major contributor to ineligibility. In hospital mortality, death/MI and cardiogenic shock were higher in the non-reperfused groups.

AbstractThere is concern whether patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who admitted to a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) center from interhospital transfer is associated with longer reperfusion time compared with direct admission. We evaluated the reperfusion delays in patients with STEMI who admitted to a primary PCI center through interhospital transfer or direct admission. We retrospectively analyzed 6,494 consecutive STEMI patients admitted between 2011 and 2019. Compared with direct admission (n = 4,121; 63%), interhospital transferred patients (n = 2,373) were younger (55 ± 10 vs. 56 ± 10 years, p < 0.001), had similar gender (85.6 vs. 86% male, p = 0.67), greater proportion of off-hour admission (65.2 vs. 48.3%, p < 0.001), less diabetes mellitus (28 vs. 30.8%, p = 0.019), and received more primary PCI (70.5 vs. 48.7%, p < 0.001). Interhospital transferred patients who received primary PCI (n = 3,677) or fibrinolytic (n = 238) had longer symptom-to-PCI center admission time (median, 360 vs. 300 minutes, p < 0.001), shorter door-to-device (DTD) time for primary PCI (median, 74 vs. 87 minutes, p < 0.001), and longer total ischemic time (median, 465 vs. 414 minutes, p < 0.001). Logistic regression in interhospital transferred patients showed that delay in door-in-to-door-out (DI-DO) time at the first hospital was strongly associated with prolonged total ischemic time (adjusted odds ratio = 3.92; 95% confidence interval: 3.06–5.04, p < 0.001). This study suggests that although interhospital transferred patients received more primary PCI with shorter DTD time, interhospital transfer creates longer total ischemic time that associates with the delay in DI-DO time at the first hospital that should be improved.

ObjectiveThe Third Danish Study of Optimal Acute Treatment of Patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction – Ischaemic Postconditioning (DANAMI-3-iPOST) did not show improved clinical outcome in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with ischaemic postconditioning. However, the use of thrombectomy was frequent and thrombectomy may in itself diminish the effect of ischaemic postconditioning. We evaluated the effect of ischaemic postconditioning in patients included in DANAMI-3-iPOST stratified by the use of thrombectomy.MethodsPatients with STEMI were randomised to conventional primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or ischaemic postconditioning plus primary PCI. The primary endpoint was a combination of all-cause mortality and hospitalisation for heart failure.ResultsFrom March 2011 until February 2014, 1234 patients were included with a median follow-up period of 35 (interquartile range 28 to 42) months. There was a significant interaction between ischaemic postconditioning and thrombectomy on the primary endpoint (p=0.004). In patients not treated with thrombectomy (n=520), the primary endpoint occurred in 33 patients (10%) who underwent ischaemic postconditioning (n=326) and in 35 patients (18%) who underwent conventional treatment (n=194) (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.55 (95%confidence interval (CI) 0.34 to 0.89), p=0.016). In patients treated with thrombectomy (n=714), there was no significant difference between patients treated with ischaemic postconditioning (n=291) and conventional PCI (n=423) on the primary endpoint (adjusted HR 1.18 (95% CI 0.62 to 2.28), p=0.62).ConclusionsIn this post-hoc study of DANAMI-3-iPOST, ischaemic postconditioning, in addition to primary PCI, was associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality and hospitalisation for heart failure in patients with STEMI not treated with thrombectomy.Trial registration numberNCT01435408.

Summary Background The China ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) Care Project (CSCAP) was launched in 2011 to address the problems of insufficient reperfusion and long treatment delay in STEMI care in China. Aim To describe the baseline status of STEMI emergency care in Tertiary PCI Hospitals using Phase 1 (CSCAP-1) data. Design CSCAP-1 is a prospective multi-center STEMI registry. Methods and results A total of 4191 patients with symptom onset within 12 or 12–36 h requiring primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), were enrolled from 53 tertiary PCI hospitals in 14 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions of China in CSCAP-1. Among them, 49.0% were self-transported to the hospital, 26.5% were transferred to the hospital by calling the emergency medical services directly, and 24.5% were transferred from other hospitals. In patients with symptom onset within 12 h, 83.2% received primary PCI, 5.9% received thrombolysis and 10.9% received conservative medications. The median door-to-balloon time was 115 (85–170) min and the median door-to-needle time for in-hospital thrombolysis was 80 (50–135) min. The overall in-hospital all-cause mortality was 2.4%, while it was 5.3% in the non-reperfusion group and 2.1% in the reperfusion group (P &lt; 0.001). Conclusion Although a long treatment delay and a high proportion of patients transporting themselves to the hospital were observed, trends were positive with greater adoption of primary PCI and lower in-hospital mortality in tertiary hospitals in China. Our results provided important information for further integrated STEMI network construction in China.
