Outcome of poor initial TIMI flow in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome

Abstract: Predictors of poor initial TIMI flow included presentation by ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and target vessel other than left anterior descending artery. Definite ST occurred more in patients with poor, versus good, initial TIMI flow, mainly driven by difference in early events.

“…Prior studies have also reported that patients with a higher initial TIMI flow have increased likelihood of attaining a higher final TIMI flow after reperfusion therapy using stents. 13,18) Nevertheless, the present study did not find a statistically significant association between the achievement of initial and final TIMI-3 flows. This inconsistency could be attributed to the advances in the PCI techniques, the equipment used during PCI (such as stents), and STEMI care protocols.…”

“…12) Prior research has established that attaining TIMI-3 flow in the IRA during the first coronary angiogram is a predictor of improved clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI. [13][14][15] This favorable effect might be linked to a decrease in the infarct size and microvascular obstruction after PCI. 16,17) In line with these findings, our study demonstrated that patients with STEMI undergoing PCI who achieved initial TIMI-3 flow had lower enzymatic infarct sizes and tended to be lower 30-day mortality.…”

“…Stent thrombosis was higher in patients who presented with initial TIMI 0/1 flow (p=0.048). [15] Our data about the culprit vessel association with the incidence of adverse events went in line with prior findings of the studies that was designed to assess the impact of the location of the culprit lesion on the outcome. A study included 500 patients who were treated by primary PCI for acute MI to define variations in clinical and angiographic data.…”

“…Although current treatments in ischemic events are continually improving, the main factor that determines the level of disability sustained by a cardiac event, and even whether the patient survives, is usually time. The faster an individual receives percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the better his or her outcome upon discharge [3,4]. Current strategies are designed to speed up the time from cardiac event onset to receiving the appropriate medical intervention.…”
