Objectives: We evaluated the impact of prasugrel pretreatment and timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on clinical outcomes of patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing CABG based on data from ACCOAST. Methods: We evaluated the impact of troponin, prasugrel pretreatment and CABG timing on clinical outcomes of NSTEMI patients undergoing CABG through 30 days from ACCOAST. Results: CABG patients versus PCI or medically managed patients were more often male, diabetic, had peripheral arterial disease and a higher GRACE score. By randomization assignment, 157 patients received a 30-mg loading-dose of prasugrel before CABG; 157 patients did not. CABG patients were grouped by tertiles of time from randomization to CABG; baseline characteristics in the Table. Patients in the lowest tertile had significantly more events (cardiovascular death, MI, stroke, urgent revascularization or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa bailout) and all TIMI major bleeds than those in the other 2 groups (p<0.045, p<0.002 respectively), but the patients in the higher 2 groups were not significantly different from each other. No difference was detected in all cause death among the 3 groups (p>0.39). A multivariate model evaluated 5 possible predictors of the composite endpoint of all cause death, MI, stroke and TIMI major bleeding. Time from randomization to CABG (HR 0.84 for each 1 hour of delay), left main disease presence (HR 1.76), and region of enrollment (Eastern Europe vs other, HR 3.83) were significant predictors but not prasugrel pretreatment or baseline troponin level ≥3xULN. Conclusions: In this group of high-risk patients presenting with NSTEMI, early surgical revascularization carried an increased risk of bleeding and ischemic complications, without impact on all-cause mortality. No impact of baseline troponin or prasugrel pretreatment (important factors influencing time of CABG) on clinical outcomes was confirmed.

Background: Nearly 40% of patients presenting with Non ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD is a powerful predictor of adverse events among NSTEMI patients. CKD is associated with a high prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease presenting with Non ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Methods: In this prospective observational study a total of 128 patients with NSTEMI were enrolled. They were divided equally in group I (NSTEMI with CKD) and group II (NSTEMI with normal renal function) on the basis of estimated glomerular filtration rate. Patients were considered to have CKD if he/she had documented history of CKD or estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m². Angiographic severity of CAD was assessed by evaluation of number of involved vessel, site of lesion, % of stenosis, ACC/ AHA lesion classification (Type A, B, C) and TIMI flow grade between the groups. Results: Patients with CKD were significantly older, with a greater prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and lower haemoglobin level compared with those without CKD. CKD was associated with an increased risk of triple vessel and left main disease. Conclusion: CKD strongly predicts severe coronary artery disease profile among NSTEMI patients.

Background: Limited data is present regarding long-term outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients presenting with stent thrombosis (ST). We evaluated the possible implications of CKD on long-term mortality in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and its interaction with the presence of ST. Methods: We retrospectively studied 1,722 STEMI patients treated with primary PCI. Baseline CKD was categorized as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at presentation. The presence of ST was determined using the Academic Research Consortium definitions. Patients were evaluated for the presence of CKD and ST, as well as for long-term mortality. Results: A total of 448/1,722 (26%) patients had baseline CKD. Patients with CKD were older and had more comorbidities and a higher rate of ST (4 vs. 7%, respectively, p < 0.001). In a univariate analysis, long-term mortality was significantly higher among those with CKD compared to those without CKD (17.6 vs. 2.7%, p < 0.001). The presence of ST did not alter long-term mortality in both CKD and no-CKD patients. In a Cox regression model, CKD was an independent predictor of long-term mortality (hazard ratio 2.04, 95% confidence interval 1.17-3.56, p = 0.01), while ST as a covariate was not significantly associated with long-term mortality. Conclusion: Among STEMI patients, CKD, but not ST, is a predictor of long-term mortality.
