Abstract :
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and angiographic correlates and outcomes of patients with suboptimal coronary flow after primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Background
The clinical and angiographic correlates and outcomes of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) ≤2 flow in patients treated with primary PCI are not known.
Methods
We evaluated 3,362 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction enrolled in various Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction trials, who underwent primary PCI.
Results
Post-procedural final TIMI ≤2 flow occurred in 232 (6.9%) patients. Multivariate analysis identified age ≥70 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 2.2), diabetes (OR 1.9; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.7), symptom onset to emergency room presentation (OR 1.1; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.2); initial TIMI ≤1 flow (OR 3.2; 95% CI, 1.9 to 5.5), and left ventricular ejection fraction <50% (OR 1.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.4) as independent correlates of final TIMI ≤2 flow. In-hospital (composite of reinfarction, ischemic target vessel revascularization, or death, as well as these events individually) and one-year (reinfarction and/or death) events occurred more frequently in patients with TIMI ≤2 flow. The Cox proportional hazards model identified TIMI ≤2 flow to be independently associated with one-year mortality (hazard ratio 3.8, 95% CI, 2.5 to 5.7).
Conclusions
Final TIMI ≤2 flow, although uncommon after primary PCI, was strongly associated with hospital and one-year adverse events. The clustering of final TIMI ≤2 flow in high-risk groups may partially explain the poor prognosis of these patients. Awareness of these risk factors may be useful to clinicians to triage and treat patients undergoing primary PCI.
