Background • A number of angiographic morphologic parameters of prognostic importance have been identified in ACS pts undergoing PCI including the extent of disease, the presence of thrombus and coronary flow characteristics. • ACUITY Angiographic substudy was designed to investigate the angiographic findings in a cohort of patients enrolled in US.
Medical management UFH or Enoxaparin + GP IIb/IIIa PCI Bivalirudin + GP IIb/IIIa Angiography within 72h R* Bivalirudin Alone CABG ACUITY Trial Design • Moderate-high risk unstable angina or NSTEMI undergoing an invasive strategy (N = 13,800) Moderate- high risk ACS Aspirin in all Clopidogrel dosing and timing per local practice *Stratified by pre-angiography thienopyridine use or administration ACUITY Design. Stone GW et al. AHJ 2004;148:764–75
Major entry criteria • Moderate-high risk unstable angina or NSTEMI
PNI <0.001 PSup = 0.015 PNI = 0.011 PSup = 0.32 PNI <0.001 PSup <0.001 ACUITY Primary Results (ITT) • Heparin* + IIb/IIIa vs. Bivalirudin + IIb/IIIa vs. Bivalirudin Alone *Heparin=unfractionated or enoxaparin
ACUITY: Angiographic Substudy • Objectives: Investigate the angiographic basis of observed differences in efficacy of angiographic parameters in acute coronary syndrome patients. • Methods: Angiographic films were analyzed in a blinded manner by the independent Core Laboratory: • Baseline Angiography on all patients to assess the extent of disease • Serial analysis of diseased vessels for patients undergoing PCI to determine procedural complications and final QCA results.
Baseline clinical characteristics *CrCL < 60ml/min as determined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation
Baseline angiographic characteristics Diseased vessel is defied as %DS>30%
LAD angiographic characteristics Diseased vessel is defied as %DS>30%
RCA angiographic characteristics Diseased vessel is defied as %DS>30%
LCX angiographic characteristics Diseased vessel is defied as %DS>30%
Conclusions • The ACUITY trial demonstrated that a bivalirudin alone strategy results in a significantly improved net clinical outcome at 30 days when compared with heparin (unfractionated or enoxaparin) plus a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor • A further analysis of the baseline angiographic characteristics demonstrated that angiographic parameters were well-balanced between the treatment groups • There were no clinically significant differences in the angiographic outcome of patients who underwent further PCI
