Effects of deferred versus immediate stenting on left ventricular function in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have shown conflicting results on the benefits of deferred stenting (DS) in infarct size and the incidence of microvascular obstruction in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, effect of DS on left ventricular (LV) function was not known. We aimed to evaluate whether DS improve LV function and relevant clinical outcomes after STEMI, using follow-up data from the INNOVATION study (NCT02324348).

Methods

In total, 114 patients were randomly assigned to DS group or immediate stenting (IS) group at a 1:1 ratio. LV functional remodeling indices and MACE (major adverse cardiac events: a composite of death, non-fatal MI, unplanned target vessel revascularization, or hospitalization due to heart failure) were compared between D
