BACKGROUND:There are limited data on the utilization and outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) among ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in contemporary practice.METHODS AND RESULTS:Using data from National Cardiovascular Data Registry Acute Coronary Treatment and Intervention Outcomes Network Registry-Get With The Guidelines between 2007 and 2014, we analyzed trends in CABG utilization and hospital-level variation in CABG rates. Patients undergoing CABG during the index admission were categorized by the most common scenarios: (1) CABG only as the primary reperfusion strategy; (2) CABG after primary percutaneous coronary intervention; and (3) CABG after fibrinolytic therapy. A total of 15 145 patients (6.3% of the STEMI population) underwent CABG during the index hospitalization, with a decrease in utilization from 8.3% in 2007 to 5.4% in 2014 (trend P value <0.001). The hospital-level use of CABG in STEMI varied widely from 0.5% to 36.2% (median, 5.3%; interquartile range [IQR], 3.5%-7.8%; P value <0.001). Of all patients undergoing CABG, 45.8% underwent CABG only, 38.7% had CABG after percutaneous coronary intervention, and 8.2% CABG after fibrinolytic therapy. The median time intervals from cardiac catheterization/percutaneous coronary intervention to CABG were 23.3 hours (IQR, 3.0-70.3 hours) in CABG only, 49.7 hours (IQR, 3.2-70.3 hours) in CABG after percutaneous coronary intervention, and 56.6 hours (IQR, 22.7-96.0 hours) in CABG after fibrinolytic therapy. The Acute Coronary Treatment and Intervention Outcomes Network mortality risk scores differed modestly (median, 33; IQR, 28-40 versus median, 32; IQR, 27-38) between CABG and non-CABG patients. Patients undergoing CABG had similar in-hospital mortality rate (5.4% versus 5.1%) as those not treated with CABG.CONCLUSIONS:CABG is performed infrequently in STEMI patients during the index hospitalization, with rates declining in contemporary US practice over time. There was marked hospital-level variation in the use of CABG, and CABG was typically performed within 1 to 3 days after angiography. Observed mortality rates appear low, suggesting that CABG might be safely performed in select STEMI patients in a timely fashion.

BACKGROUND:The number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in China has increased more than 20-fold over the last decade. Consequently, there is a need for national-level information to characterize PCI indications and long-term patient outcomes, including health status, to understand and improve evolving practice patterns.OBJECTIVES:This nationwide prospective study of patients receiving PCI is to: (1) measure long-term clinical outcomes (including death, acute myocardial infarction [AMI], and/or revascularization), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), cardiovascular risk factor control and adherence to medications for secondary prevention; (2) determine patient- and hospital-level factors associated with care process and outcomes; and (3) assess the appropriateness of PCI procedures.METHODS:The China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Prospective Study of PCI has enrolled 5,000 consecutive patients during 2012-2014 from 34 diverse hospitals across China undergoing PCI for any indication. We abstracted details of patient's medical history, treatments, and in-hospital outcomes from medical charts, and conducted baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-month interviews to characterize patient demographics, risk factors, clinical presentation, healthcare utilization, and health status using validated PRO measures. The primary outcome, a composite measure of death, AMI and/or revascularization, as well as PROs, medication adherence and cardiovascular risk factor control, was assessed throughout the 12-month follow-up. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 12 months and stored for future analyses. To validate reports of coronary anatomy, 2,000 angiograms are randomly selected and read by two independent core laboratories. Hospital characteristics regarding their facilities, processes and organizational characteristics are assessed by site surveys.CONCLUSION:China PEACE Prospective Study of PCI will be the first study to generate novel, high-quality, comprehensive national data on patients' socio-demographic, clinical, treatment, and metabolic/genetic factors, and importantly, their long-term outcomes following PCI, including health status. This will build the foundation for PCI performance improvement efforts in China. © 2016 The Authors. Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

OBJECTIVES:We sought to evaluate the effect of aspirin plus clopidogrel versus aspirin alone on saphenous vein graft occlusion at 3 months after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).BACKGROUND:Prevalence of graft occlusion is high after CABG. Aggressive antiplatelet therapy is expected to improve early post-operative graft patency.METHODS:From December 2007 through December 2008, 249 consecutive patients undergoing elective CABG at Fuwai Hospital were randomly assigned to 2 groups: 124 received aspirin (100 mg) plus clopidogrel (75 mg) daily (AC group), and 125 received aspirin (100 mg) alone daily (A group). Antiplatelet therapies were initiated when post-operative chest tube drainage was ≤ 30 cc/h for 2 h. All participants were invited for clinical follow-up and 64-slice multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) analysis at 3 months post-operatively. Generalized estimating equations analysis was used to determine predictors of graft patency.RESULTS:One participant, from group A, died before 3-month follow-up. Of the remaining 248 patients, 224 (90.3%) underwent MSCTA. Participants had similar pre-operative and intraoperative characteristics at baseline. No significant differences were observed in intraoperative transit-time flow measurement findings or major adverse cardiac-related events. Three-month MSCTA follow-up revealed that saphenous vein graft patency was 91.6% (219 of 239) in the AC group versus 85.7% (198 of 231) in the A group (p = 0.043). In multivariate analysis, combined antiplatelet therapy independently increased venous graft patency (p = 0.045).CONCLUSIONS:Aspirin plus clopidogrel is more effective in venous graft patency than aspirin alone in the short term after CABG, but further, long-term study is needed.
