Effects of Bailout Tirofiban on In-Hospital Outcomes and Long-Term Mortality in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Intervention:
2019
We retrospectively analyzed short- and long-term outcomes of patients who received bailout tirofiban during primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI). A total of 2681patients who underwent pPCI between 2009 and 2014 were analyzed; 1331 (49.6%) out of 2681 patients received bailout tirofiban. Using propensity score matching, 2100 patients (1050 patient received bail-out tirofiban) with similar preprocedural characteristics were identified. Patients who received bailout tirofiban had a significantly higher incidence of acute stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and major cardiac or cerebrovascular events during the in-hospital period. There were numerically fewer deaths in the bailout tirofiban group in the unmatched cohort (1.7% vs 2.5%, P = .118). In the matched cohort, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower (1.1% vs 2.4%, P = .03), and survival at 12 and 60 months were higher (96.9% vs 95.2%, P = .056 for 12 months and 95.1% vs 92.0%, P = .01 for 60 months) in the bailout tirofiban group.
