Abstract:
Objective:To define impact of spontaneous TIMI-3 flow before angioplasty on outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention strategy and the prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI ). Methods: The consecutive 301 patients enrolled in the ongoing register of emergent coronary angioplasty within 12 hours from symptoms who were diagnosed as having ST elevation AMI in our hospital from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed, they were followed up for one year and the clinical characteristics and survival rates were analysed. Results: Among the 301 patients enrolled in the ongoing register of emergent coronary angioplasty, spontaneous reperfusion (TIMI-3 flow) was present in 14.6% at initial angiography. Compared with patients without TIMI-3 flow, those with TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention were less likely to present in new-onset heart failure(2.3% versus 16%, P=0.016), Patients with initial TIMI-3 flow had significantly lower 30-day mortality (0% versus 9.3%, P=0.035) , and cardiogenic shock (0%versus 8.6%, P=0.044) and had a shorter hospital stay (P=0.008). Cumulative 1-year mortality was 0% in patients with initial TIMI-3 flow, 11.3% with TIMI 0-2 flow (P=0.019). By COX regression analysis, postprocendural TIMI-3 flow was an independent determinant of survival (OR=0.285,P=0.004) , however,TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention was not found as an independent determinant of survival significantly. The lenitive symptoms and current smoking were the independent determinants of TIMI-3 flow before coronary intervention (P=0.005, P=0.048, respectively).Conclusion: Patients undergoing primary percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention in whom TIMI-3 flow is present before angioplasty may present with greater clinical and angiographic evidence of myocardial salvage, be less likely to develop complications related to left ventricular failure, and improve early and late survival.
