We investigated the predictors of the no-reflow phenomenon after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with plaque rupture (PR).
The study group comprised 112 AMI patients who underwent pre- and post-PCI intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and stent implantation. Angiographic no-reflow was defined as TIMI flow grade 0, 1, and 2 after PCI. IVUS findings included multiple ruptured plaques (PRs separated by a >5-mm length of artery containing smooth lumen contours), thrombus (had a layered lobulated appearance, evidence of blood flow within the mass, and speckling or scintillation), and plaque prolapse (tissue extrusion through the stent struts).
Of 112 patients, no-reflow was observed in 17 patients (15.2%). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was significantly higher (6.2+/-6.0 mg/dl vs. 2.2+/-2.9 mg/dl, p=0.002) and baseline TIMI flow grade was significantly lower in no-reflow group (TIMI flow grade<3: 59% vs. 18%, p<0.001). Lesion site plaque plus media area was significantly greater (12.9+/-2.6 mm(2) vs. 10.8+/-4.2 mm(2), p=0.009), remodeling index was significantly higher (1.14+/-0.17 vs. 1.03+/-0.20, p=0.031), and the presence of IVUS-detected thrombus (88% vs. 56%, p=0.012), culprit lesion multiple PRs (71% vs. 37%, p=0.009), and plaque prolapse (65% vs. 34%, p=0.015) were significantly more common in no-reflow group. In the multivariate analysis, plaque prolapse (OR=33.02; 95% CI 3.38-322.75, p=0.003), hs-CRP (OR=1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.05, p=0.013), and culprit lesion multiple PRs (OR=15.73; 95% CI 1.61-153.46, p=0.018) were independent predictors of post-PCI no-reflow in AMI patients with PR.
Elevated hs-CRP and IVUS-detected multiple PRs and plaque prolapse are associated with no-reflow after PCI for PR-containing culprit lesion in infarct-related arteries in AMI patients.
我们研究了急性心肌梗死(AMI)伴斑块破裂(PR)患者经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)后无复流现象的预测因素。
研究组包括 112 例 AMI 患者,这些患者在 PCI 前后进行了血管内超声(IVUS)和支架植入。血管造影无复流定义为 PCI 后 TIMI 血流分级 0、1 和 2。IVUS 结果包括多个破裂斑块(PR,由>5mm 长的动脉分隔,动脉内含有光滑管腔轮廓)、血栓(具有分层叶状外观,在肿块内有血流证据,以及斑点或闪烁)和斑块隆起(组织通过支架支柱挤出)。
112 例患者中,17 例(15.2%)出现无复流。高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)显著升高(6.2+/-6.0mg/dl 与 2.2+/-2.9mg/dl,p=0.002),无复流组基线 TIMI 血流分级显著降低(TIMI 血流分级<3:59%与 18%,p<0.001)。病变部位斑块加中膜面积明显增大(12.9+/-2.6mm²与 10.8+/-4.2mm²,p=0.009),重塑指数明显升高(1.14+/-0.17 与 1.03+/-0.20,p=0.031),IVUS 检测到血栓(88%与 56%,p=0.012)、罪犯病变多发性 PR(71%与 37%,p=0.009)和斑块隆起(65%与 34%,p=0.015)的发生率明显更高。多变量分析显示,斑块隆起(OR=33.02;95%CI 3.38-322.75,p=0.003)、hs-CRP(OR=1.03;95%CI 1.01-1.05,p=0.013)和罪犯病变多发性 PR(OR=15.73;95%CI 1.61-153.46,p=0.018)是 AMI 患者伴 PR 的梗死相关动脉内 PCI 后无复流的独立预测因素。
在 AMI 患者中,伴有 PR 的梗死相关动脉内 PCI 后 hs-CRP 升高、IVUS 检测到多发性 PR 和斑块隆起与无复流相关。
