Background: Mortality benefit of routine intracoronary thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been questioned. The recent TASTE trial did not show a mortality benefit with thrombus aspiration at 1 month, however benefits from accompanying reductions in myocyte injury might accrue over time. A meta-analysis of randomized trials (RCTs) was performed to evaluate the effect of follow up duration on effectiveness of aspiration thrombectomy. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched through March, 2014. We included RCTs with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients randomized to aspiration thrombectomy prior to primary PCI compared with conventional primary PCI alone. Two individuals reviewed the trials for inclusion and extracted data from the RCTs. We used random-effects models. Results: Data were pooled from 16 RCTs with 11,649 patients. All-cause mortality was significantly lower with aspiration thrombectomy after at least 12 months of follow up (Odds ratio [OR] =0. 61; 95% CI 0.37-0.99; p=0. 05). Pooled data for other time frames, i.e in-hospital, 1 month, 6 month follow up, did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Beneficial effects of thrombus aspiration on mortality are not evident until 12 months post-procedure, consistent with the long-term effects of myocardial salvage. Subsequent trials evaluating thrombus removal should accordingly be powered for long-term mortality in addition to known procedural and angiographic endpoints.

Abstract Background Reducing delay to percutaneous coronary intervention improves functional outcome and reduces long-term mortality. Transportation by helicopter is often quicker than ground transport and thus may improve overall prognosis through reduced ischemic injury and infarction size. Our hospital is located on the medically-depopulated peninsula surrounded by mountain. The journey from the southern tip of the peninsula to the critical care medical center of our hospital take 1.5 hour by a ground ambulance but only 15 minutes by helicopter. We compared the clinical characteristics and long-term mortality between air and ground transport of ACS patients for primary PCI. Methods We conducted an observational cohort study evaluating 2324 patients (mean age 68.5±12.0, male 75.2%) with ACS underwent primary PCI between April 2004 and December 2017 at our hospital. We divided into three groups according to transportation system type (air, ground, walk-in). The primary outcome was defined as all-cause death during the long-term follow-up. Results Among the entire cohort, 577 patients (24.8%) were transported by air. 1326 (57.1%) patients by ambulance, 421 (18.1%) patients by walk. Baseline characteristics were comparable, but patients by air had a higher prevalence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The rate of long-term mortality was comparable during the median follow up of 6 years (air, 21.1% vs. ground, 21.4% vs. walk-in, 21.1%, respectively, log-rank p=0.72). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant association between air transportation and long-term mortality (Adjusted HR [vs ground] 1.05, 95% CI 0.60–1.78, p=0.85 and [vs walk-in] 0.94, 95% CI 0.62–1.43, respectively, p=0.77). Kaplan-Meier curve Conclusions The rate of long-term mortality in patients with ACS transported by air was comparable with those transported by ground.

Abstract Background Previous studies associated midrange ejection fraction (mrEF) with impaired prognosis in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Purpose Our aim was to assess clinical profile and short- and long-term mortality of patients with mrEF after STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This analysis included 8148 patients admitted for primary PCI during 2009–2019, from a high-volume tertiary center, for whom echocardiographic parameters obtained during index hospitalization were available. Midrange EF was defined as 40–49%. Adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess 30-day and 5-year mortality hazard of mrEF, with the reference category being preserved EF (>50%). Results mrEF was present in 29.8% (n=2 427), whereas low ejection fraction (EF<40%) was documented in 24.7% of patients (n=2 016). mrEF was associated with a higher baseline risk as compared with preserved EF patients, but lower when compared with EF<40%, in terms of prior MI (14.5% in mrEF vs. 9.9% in preserved EF vs. 24.2% in low EF, p<0.001), history of diabetes (26.5% vs. 21.2% vs. 30.0%, p<0.001), presence of Killip 2–4 on admission (15.7% vs. 6.9% vs. 26.5%, p<0.001) and median age (61 vs. 59 vs. 64 years, p<0.001). At 30 days, mortality was comparable in mrEF vs. preserved EF group, while it was significantly higher in the low EF group (2.7% vs. 1.6% vs. 9.4%, respectively, p<0.001). At 5 years, mrEF patients had higher crude mortality rate as compared with preserved EF, but lower in comparison with low EF (25.1% vs. 17.0% vs. 48.7%, p<0.001) (Figure). After adjusting for the observed baseline differences mrEF was independently associated with increased mortality at 5 years (HR 1.283, 95% CI: 1.093–1.505, p=0.002), but not at 30 days (HR 1.444, 95% CI: 0.961–2.171, p<0.001). Conclusion Patients with mrEF after primary PCI for STEMI have a distinct baseline clinical risk profile, as compared with patients with reduced (<40%) and preserved (≥50%) EF. Importantly, mrEF did not have a significant impact on short-term mortality following STEMI, but it did independently predict the risk of 5-year mortality.

Abstract Background Obesity is a growing health concern worldwide, particularly in developed countries where there has been an unprecedented rise in the proportion of overweight and obese individuals in the population. Previous studies have reported a protective effect of obesity compared to normal BMI in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it is unclear whether this effect extends to the extremely obese over long-term follow-up. Objective To determine whether an obesity paradox persists in contemporary PCI practice over long-term follow-up, and in particular to further evaluate the association between extreme obesity and long-term clinical outcomes after PCI. Method We prospectively collected data on 25,645 patients undergoing PCI between 1 January 2005 and 30 June 2017 who were enrolled in the statewide multi-centre Melbourne Interventional Group Registry. This registry collects data on all patients undergoing PCI at 6 academic tertiary hospitals. Patients were stratified by World Health Organization-defined BMI categories. Long-term mortality data was obtained by linkage to the National Death Index (NDI), a database that contains records of all deaths occurring in Australia. The primary endpoint was NDI-linked mortality. Median length of follow-up was 4.4 years (IQR 2.0–7.6 years). Results Of the study cohort, 24.6% had normal BMI (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), 0.9% were underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) and 3.3% were extremely obese (BMI ≥40 kg/m2). As BMI increased, mean age decreased while the prevalence of diabetes increased (p<0.001). The proportion of females at both extremes of BMI. Procedural characteristics were similar across the groups although there was more radial access and less femoral access used with increasing BMI (p<0.001). In terms of secondary prevention therapy, underweight patients were significantly less likely to receive a beta blocker, ACE inhibitor and statins, compared to the other BMI groups. In-hospital, 30-day and long-term mortality were all highest for underweight patients (37.7%) and lowest for the moderately obese patients (BMI 35–40 kg/m2) (12.2%). After adjustment for age, comorbidities and presentation with cardiogenic shock, a U-shaped association between the different BMI categories and adjusted hazard ratio for long-term mortality was observed (Figure 1). Figure 1 Conclusion An obesity paradox is still apparent in contemporary practice with elevated BMI up to 35 kg/m2 associated with reduced long-term mortality after PCI. However, this protective effect appears not to extend to patients with extreme obesity. Factors behind this phenomenon are likely multifactorial and require further mechanistic and epidemiological studies.

Abstract Background Published data about the impact of female gender on the long-term prognosis in patients with ST–elevation -myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) have been incoherent. Much of the registries show that the gender effect diminishes after control for age and comorbidities Purpose We sought to investigate the gender dependent impact on the long-term prognosis in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. Methods This prospective cohort study included 1965 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary-PCI between January 2008 and December 2017. Our primary objective was to assess its impact of gender in all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; death, recurrent MI, target vessel revascularization, heart failure) during follow-up. Follow-up was performed through consultation of the electronic registries available in the autonomic community of Galicia (IANUS program); all medical evaluations and hospital registries were reviewed. Median follow-up was 3 years (interquartile range of 0.68–4.67 years). Results Of the 1965 patients with STEMI admitted for primary PCI, 464 (23,6%) were female. Women were on average 10 years older than men (71.5±13 vs. 61.5±12 yrs, p=0,000), with a higher prevalence of diabetes (25,2% vs 20,5% p=0,030) and hypertension (65,1% vs 44,5% p=0,000). With regard to system delays, the median time from first medical contact to PPCI were superior in women (116,3±83) than men (97,9±67) (p=0,000). Despite their older age women did not show differences in the extent of coronary disease (median SYNTAX score 13,60±8.0 vs. 14.33±8.7 in men, p=0,122). The GRACE score was higher for women (141.1±39 vs 120.8±35 p=0.07) and the incidence of cardiogenic shock at admission was 10.2% (7.1% in men, p=0,003). Furthermore, female patients received less guideline-directed medical therapy than men with less prescription of statins (93.6.5% vs 96.9%; p=0,003), and beta blockers (80.2% vs 85.1%; p=0.021), and having less radial access for PPCI (84.1% vs 90.1%; p=0.000). The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 19.4% vs 12.6% (p=0,000), the incidence of MACE was 31.9% vs 23.4% (p=0.000) for women and men respectively (Image 1). Multivariate analysis revealed that, after correction for baseline differences, gender remained and independent predictor for all-cause mortality (HR IC 95%: 1.922 (1.396–2.696) p=0.000) Conclusions In our “real-world” registry of patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI women had longer ischemic times, higher risk profiles, and differing interventional approaches compared with men and gender results an independent predictor for all-cause mortality. Dedicated studies of specific mechanisms underlying this female disadvantage are mandatory to reduce this gender gap. Image 1 Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

We investigated whether the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) 48 hours after admission is related to 30-day and long-term mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated 318 consecutive patients with STEMI who were undergoing primary PCI. The relationship between the LMR48h and all-cause mortality (30-day and long-term) was analyzed by categorizing the patients into tertiles (T) according to LMR48h—T1 (>2.46), T2 (1.67-2.46), and T3 (<1.67). The T3 group exhibited the highest risk of 30-day all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 8.093 [1.006-65.074]; P = .049). For long-term mortality, a significantly higher mortality risk was observed in both T2 (HR: 2.005 [1.021-3.939]; P = .043) and T3 groups (HR: 2.374 [1.160-4.857]; P < .001) compared to the T1 group (reference group). In multivariate analysis, these associations remained unaltered even after adjusting for confounders. A low LMR at 48 hours after admission may be independently associated with both 30-day and long-term mortality in patients with STEMI who were treated with primary PCI. This marker may be used for identifying patients with STEMI at high risk.
