PG - 1455-1460 LID - S0002-9149(20)30193-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.amjcard.2020.02.023 [doi] AB - Recruitment of the coronary collateral circulation is frequently observed during ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is of uncertain significance. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the predictors and prognostic implications of the presence of robust collaterals during STEMI. All patients presenting to a large tertiary centre with a STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention from 2010 to 2018 were reviewed. Patients with poor collateral recruitment were defined as those with Rentrop grade 0 or 1 collaterals, whilst patients with robust collateral recruitment were defined as Rentrop grade 2 or 3. A total of 1,625 patients were included in the study, with 1,280 (78.8%) patients having poor collateral recruitment and 345 patients (21.2%) having robust collateral recruitment. Patients with robust collaterals were younger (63.1 vs 65.1 years, p < 0.05), had a longer ischemic time (628.5 minutes vs 433.1 minutes, p < 0.0001), and more likely to have a chronic total occlusion of a noninfarct related artery (10.4% vs 5.3%, p < 0.001). The presence of robust collaterals was associated with higher rates of normal or mildly impaired left ventricular function (83.5% vs 63.2%, p < 0.0001) and lower in-hospital mortality (2.1% vs 7.6%, p < 0.0001). After correcting for left ventricular function, collateral recruitment was not an independent predictor of mortality. In conclusion, in patients presenting with STEMI, the presence of robust coronary collaterals appears to be associated with improved left ventricular function. Further research is required to identify mechanisms of collateral maturation and recruitment. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
