Abstract

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a staged in-hospital complete revascularisation strategy increases the risk of serious bleeding events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.

METHODS AND RESULTS: The DANAMI-3-PRIMULTI trial investigated whether a staged in-hospital complete revascularisation strategy improved outcome in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease. In this substudy, we investigated potential bleeding complications related to a second in-hospital procedure. Bleedings were assessed using BARC and TIMI criteria. Six hundred and twenty-seven (627) patients were randomised 1:1 to either PCI of the infarct-related artery (IRA) only (n=313) or complete revascularisation during a staged procedure before discharge (n=314). We found no significant difference in TIMI major+minor bleedings related to the primary PCI. There were neither major nor minor bleedings in relation to the second procedure in the complete revascularisation arm. There were significantly more in-hospital minimal+medical attention bleedings in the group randomised to complete revascularisation (61.5% vs. 49.5% in the IRA-PCI only group, p=0.003), but no difference in admission time or one-year mortality (2.2% complete revascularisation-group vs. 2.6% IRA-PCI only group, p=0.8).

CONCLUSIONS: In multivessel diseased STEMI patients, a staged complete in-hospital revascularisation strategy or any second in-hospital procedure did not result in an increase in serious bleeding events.
