Abstract
Background: Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients benefit from revascularization, but guidelines are vague regarding optimal timing. We aimed to identify the ideal timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after NSTEMI.
Methods: We examined NSTEMI patients who underwent isolated CABG within 30 days of cardiac catheterization between July 2011-July 2023 using a multicenter regional collaborative. Patients were stratified into three groups: <2 days, 3-7 days, and 8-30 days. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with mortality.
Results: We identified 10,271 CABG patients, of which 3,464 (34%) underwent CABG within <2 days, 5,751 (56%) 3-7 days, and 1056 (10%) 8-30 days. The 3-7 day group had the lowest median Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality (1.36% vs. 1.35% vs. 2.09%, p<0.001). The <2 day group more frequently presented with left main disease (19% vs. 16% vs. 16%, p<0.001) and cardiogenic shock (5.1% vs. 1.8% vs. 2%, p<0.001). Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was similar between groups (97 mins vs 97 vs 97, p=0.63). The 3-7 day group had the lowest operative mortality (3.2% vs. 1.8% vs. 4%, p<0.001) and major morbidity (14% vs 11% vs. 16%, p<0.001). After risk-adjustment, the 3-7 day window was associated with decreased mortality compared to <2 days (OR 0.56, 95%CI 0.4-0.78, p<0.001) and 8-30 days (OR 0.51, 95%CI 0.32-0.81, p<0.001).
Conclusions: CABG between 3-7 days after cardiac catheterization for NSTEMI was associated with the lowest risk of mortality. When possible, CABG within this window may afford better outcomes.
