Abstract

Background— Whether to perform or not an immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is still debated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of PCI on short- and long-term survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted after successful resuscitation. Methods and Results— Between 2000 and 2013, all nontrauma out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted in a Parisian cardiac arrest center after return of spontaneous circulation were prospectively included. The association between immediate PCI and short- and long-term mortality was analyzed using logistic regression and Cox multivariate analysis, respectively. Propensity score-matching method was used to assess the influence of PCI on short- and long-term survival. During the study period, 1722 patients (71.5% male, median age 60 [49.6, 72.2] years) were analyzed: 628 (35.6%) without coronary angiography, 615 (35.7%) with coronary angiography without PCI, and 479 (27.8%) with both. Among these groups, day 30 and year-10 survival rates were 21% and 11.9%, 35% and 29%, 43% and 38%, respectively ( P <0.01 for each). PCI as compared with no coronary angiography was associated with a lower day-30 and long-term mortality (adjOR coro with PCI versus no coro 0.71, 95% confidence interval [0.54, 0.92]; P =0.02 and adjHR coro with PCI versus no coro 0.44, 95% confidence interval [0.27, 0.71]; P <0.01, respectively). PCI remained associated with a lower risk of long-term mortality (adjHR 0.29; 95% confidence interval [0.14, 0.61]; P <0.01) in propensity score-matching analysis. Conclusions— Immediate PCI after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was associated with significant reduced risk of short- and long-term mortality. These findings should suggest physicians to consider immediate coronary angiography and PCI if indicated in these patients.
