Stenosis and revascularization of the coronary artery are associated with outcomes in presumed cardiogenic arrest survivors: A multi-center retrospective cohort study
Resuscitation Feb 22, 2019
Tsai MS, et al. - In this retrospective analysis of 273 non-traumatic adult cardiac arrest (CA) survivors who had emergent coronary angiography (CAG) from January 2011 to July 2017, researchers assessed the outcomes in relation to severity and revascularization of coronary artery stenosis. On the basis of an operator visual estimate, any of the major coronary arteries with stenosis and non-revascularization ≥70% was considered as significant. They detected ≧1 significant coronary artery stenosis in 201 patients (73.63%) and ≧1 non-revascularized coronary artery in 58 patients (21.25%). They found increased in-hospital mortality and poor neurological recovery in association with the severity and incomplete revascularization of coronary artery stenosis in patients with presumed cardiogenic arrest.
