Tarunjit Singh Department of Internal Medicine Westchester Medical Center New York Medical College Valhalla NY Major Adverse Cardiac Event Rates after Bare- Metal Stenting Versus Drug-Eluting Stenting in Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Thrombolysis and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Aims and Objectives • To compare Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) in Bare- metal versus drug-eluting stent in patients treated with TNK prior to being admitted to our facility for PCI.
Major Adverse Cardiac events (MACE) Defined as occurrence of one of the following : • Myocardial Infarction • Target Vessel Revascularization • Death
Introduction Prehospital Fibrinolysis • Improvement in survival • Smaller infarct size • Improved ventricular healing • Reduction in the extent of left ventricular dysfunction • Greater electrical stability
Fibrinolytic Agents And Trials • GISSI-2 and ISIS-2 – Streptokinase • GUSTO-I trial – Alteplase • GUSTO III trial compared Reteplase with Alteplase • ASSENT-2 compared Tenecteplase to Alteplase • The net effect in major thrombolytic trials has been an approximately 30 percent reduction in short-term mortality to a value of 7 to 10 percent.
PCI after fibrinolysis • There are three settings in which Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is performed after fibrinolysis: • Facilitated PCI, in which a fibrinolytic drug is given prior to planned PCI in an attempt to achieve an open infarct-related artery before arrival in the catheterization laboratory • Rescue / Salvage PCI is defined as PCI performed within 12 hours of failed fibrinolysis (primary failure) in patients with evidence of continuing or recurrent myocardial ischemia
Methods • Analysis of 376 consecutive patients ,out of which 102 received BMS and 274 received DES from 2003 to 2005. • The 376 patients were followed for a period of 43± 17 months. • End point of follow-up was occurrence of MACE. • Choice of stent type was at the discretion of the operator. • Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test were done for categorical variables. • Student’s T test were done for continuous variables.
Cox Regression analysis for independent prognostic factors for MACE
RESULTS • Prior CABG surgery, Decreased stent width and the use of bare-metal stents (BMS) were independent risk factors for MACE. • BMS had a 1.8 times higher incidence of developing MACE as compared to DES. • No increased rate of acute or chronic thrombosis after thrombolysis in either group. The increased rate of MACE in BMS group may be attributed to increased incidence of restenosis.
