The CULPRIT-SHOCK trial compared culprit-lesion-only versus immediate multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), providing important data but leaving efficacy questions unresolved. To address lingering uncertainties and gain deeper insights, we performed a Bayesian reanalysis of the CULPRIT-SHOCK trial data. Methods We conducted a Bayesian re-analysis of the CULPRIT-SHOCK trial data using non-informative, skeptical, and enthusiastic priors. Relative risks (RR) with 95% highest posterior density intervals were calculated. We defined the Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID) as RR <0.84. We performed subgroup analyses for key patient characteristics and assessed secondary outcomes and safety endpoints. Probabilities of benefit, achieving MCID, and harm were computed. Results are presented as median RR with probabilities of effect sizes. Results Bayesian re-analysis showed a median relative risk of 0.82 (95% HPD: 0.66-1.04) with a non-informative prior, indicating a 95% probability of benefit and 59% probability of achieving MCID. Subgroup analyses revealed potentially stronger effects in males (RR: 0.78, 73% probability of MCID), patients without diabetes (RR: 0.76, 79% probability of MCID), and those with non-anterior STEMI (RR: 0.74, 76% probability of MCID). Secondary outcomes suggested potential benefits in mortality (RR: 0.85) and need for renal replacement therapy (RR: 0.72), but increased risks of recurrent MI (RR: 2.84) and urgent revascularization (RR: 2.88). Conclusion Our Bayesian reanalysis provides intuitive insights by quantifying probabilities of treatment effect sizes, offering further evidence favoring the culprit-lesion-only PCI strategy in AMI patients with cardiogenic shock and multivessel disease. The analysis demonstrates a high probability of overall benefit, with a notable chance of achieving a minimally clinically important difference, particularly in specific subgroups. These findings not only support the consideration of culprit-lesion-only PCI in certain patient populations but also underscore the need for careful risk-benefit assessment. Furthermore, our hypothesis-generating subgroup analyses, which show varying probabilities of achieving MCID, illuminate promising avenues for future targeted investigations in this critical patient population.","PeriodicalId":11861,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular Care","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims To compare the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with surgical AVR (SAVR) in patients with AS-CS. Methods We queried the Nationwide Readmission Database (2016-2021) to identify patients hospitalized for AS-CS who underwent isolated TAVR or SAVR. In-hospital outcomes of TAVR vs SAVR were compared using multivariable regression and propensity-matching analyses. Ninety-day readmissions were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results Of 16,072 patients hospitalized for AS-CS, 6,381 (39.7%) underwent isolated TAVR, and 9,691 (60.3%) underwent isolated SAVR. From 2016 through 2021, the proportion of TAVR increased from 29.5% to 46.5% and the proportion of SAVR correspondingly decreased in AS-CS (ptrend<0.01). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, TAVR was associated with lower odds of stroke (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44-0.79), acute kidney injury (aOR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68-0.92), and major bleeding (aOR 0.54, 95% CI 0.40-0.72) and higher odds of vascular complications (aOR 1.55, 95% CI 1.22-1.96) compared with SAVR. In-hospital mortality, myocardial infarction, permanent pacemaker placement, and 90-day all-cause and heart failure readmissions were similar. Length of stay was shorter and total costs and nonhome discharges were lower with TAVR. Conclusions This nationwide observational analysis showed that TAVR is increasingly performed in patients with AS-CS and is associated with similar in-hospital mortality and 90-day readmissions, but lower in-hospital complications and resource utilization compared with SAVR.","PeriodicalId":11861,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular Care","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
