Matsumoto T, Saito Y, Yamashita D, et al. - Findings suggest a significant impact of active cancer, rather than a history of cancer and no cancer, on in-hospital bleeding events, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major bleedings after discharge in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

• This is a bi-center registry study that included 903 patients.

• According to the status of malignancy, division of patients was done into active cancer, a history of cancer, and no cancer.

• The 3 groups did not differ significantly in in-hospital MACE.

• Patients with active cancer had a significantly higher rate of major bleeding events during the index hospitalization.

• After discharge, an increased risk of MACE and major bleedings was recorded for patients with active cancer.
