Randomized trials have confirmed that intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) improves long-term clinical outcomes. However, data on real-world utilization of IVUS in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and the impact on short to mid-term outcomes are scarce. We sought to evaluate the utilization and the readmission rates for IVUS-guided PCI in the setting of STEMI.
Hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of STEMI undergoing PCI were included from the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) during 2012-2017.
Among 809,601 hospitalizations with STEMI undergoing PCI, 33,644 (4.2%) underwent IVUS-guided PCI. IVUS use increased from 4.2% in 2012 to 5.6% in 2017 (p < .0001). After matching, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower with IVUS use (3.9% vs. 4.6%, p < .0001). The overall readmission rates were similar in both groups. We found that readmission rates due to acute MI at 6 months (5.7% vs. 6%, p = .045) and 11 months (5.1% vs. 6.5%, p = .005) as well as the PCI and mortality rates during readmission at 11 months (2.1% vs. 3%, p = .008, and 0.7% vs. 1.4%, p = .002, respectively) were significantly lower in the IVUS group.
The utilization of IVUS in STEMI appears to be slowly increasing. Although overall readmission rates were similar, IVUS was associated with lower in-hospital mortality, lower rates of readmission due to acute MI at 6 and 11 months, as well as lower PCI and mortality at 11 months. Randomized trials evaluating long-term benefits of IVUS in STEMI are needed.
随机试验已经证实血管内超声(IVUS)指导经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)可改善长期临床结果。然而,关于 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)中 IVUS 的实际应用以及对短期至中期结果的影响的数据却很少。我们旨在评估 STEMI 患者中 IVUS 指导 PCI 的应用情况和再入院率。
从 2012 年至 2017 年,全美再入院数据库(NRD)中纳入因 STEMI 行 PCI 的住院患者。
在因 STEMI 行 PCI 的 809601 例住院患者中,33644 例(4.2%)行 IVUS 指导 PCI。IVUS 的使用率从 2012 年的 4.2%增加到 2017 年的 5.6%(p<0.0001)。匹配后,IVUS 组院内死亡率显著降低(3.9% vs. 4.6%,p<0.0001)。两组的总体再入院率相似。我们发现,6 个月(5.7% vs. 6%,p=0.045)和 11 个月(5.1% vs. 6.5%,p=0.005)时因急性心肌梗死再入院率以及 11 个月时再入院的 PCI 率和死亡率(2.1% vs. 3%,p=0.008 和 0.7% vs. 1.4%,p=0.002)均显著降低。
在 STEMI 中 IVUS 的应用似乎正在缓慢增加。尽管总体再入院率相似,但 IVUS 与较低的院内死亡率、6 个月和 11 个月时因急性心肌梗死再入院率以及 11 个月时再入院的 PCI 率和死亡率相关。需要进行随机试验来评估 IVUS 在 STEMI 中的长期获益。
