OP-067 Is It Worth Taking Patients with Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Graft for Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention? – An Observational Study from a Large Tertiary Centre in England




Aim


To compare outcomes in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) with and without previous coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG).




Background


Limited information exists regarding procedural success and clinical outcomes of STEMI patients with CABG undergoing PPCI. Some centres have predicted poorer outcomes if the infarct related artery was a graft, compared to native vessel. However, very limited long-term follow up data is available for comparing PPCI in CABG patients to patients without previous CABG.




Setting


Single cardiovascular tertiary-centre observational registry based study.




Methods


We included all patients presenting for PPCI to our service from January 2007 to June 2012. We analysed the data that was collected and integrated with the national audit for PPCI in the UK. The data was harvested from electronic spreadsheet format via our in-house software Infoflex. This data was exported and analysed in Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011 (Version 14.1.3).
