Quality of life after balloon angioplasty or stenting for acute myocardial infarction

Abstract: In patients undergoing revascularization for AMI, initial stent placement is associated with improvements in several dimensions of health status during the first six months of follow-up. In the absence of differences in mortality, these findings add to the overall argument in favor of initial stenting in patients treated with mechanical reperfusion for myocardial infarction.

“…The reason for the lack of association between Type D and physical functioning may be that for this sub domain, baseline health status had a considerably larger impact (26-fold) than for any of the other sub domains (ranging from 5-to 9-fold). Improvement in health status over time following revascularization is consistent with other studies post-CABG [10] and PCI [28] indicating the beneficial effects of revascularization on health status. However, in the current study we showed that subgroups of patients may not benefit from PCI on par with other patients, as Type D patients experienced significantly impaired health status compared with non-Type D patients.…”

“…Bulgularımız KA+PTCA+stent uygulamasının hemen tüm boyutlarda iyileşmeye (yüksek puan=kötü yaşam kalitesi) yol açarken, KA uygulamasına göre sadece duygusal tepki boyutunu anlamlı düzeyde olumlu etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Koroner anjiyoplastinin yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki olumlu etkisi diğer bazı çalış-malarda da gösterilmiştir (49,50). Bu durum girişimin psikolojik yönden olumlu etkisi olarak değerlendirilebilir.…”

“…In a prospective substudy of the Stent-Primary Angioplasty for Acute Myocardial Infarction (Stent-PAMI) trial, Rinfret and colleagues 182 reported that compared with conventional balloon angioplasty, initial stent placement was associated with significantly better HRQoL at 6-month follow-up but no differences at 1 year. These differences were primarily explained by the reduced rates of angiographic and clinical restenosis associated with stenting.…”
