Of 428 700 admissions with ACS, 212 015 (48.8%) received revascularization within 30 days. Women, black ethnicity, multimorbid, and frail patients were less likely to undergo revascularization. South Asian ethnicities had higher [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14-1.17] revascularization rates and comparable risk-adjusted survival but higher re-admission rates when compared to other ethnic groups. Women had higher 1-year all-cause [25.5% vs. 14.7%-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); 24.9% vs. 18.7%-non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)] and cardiovascular (22.6% vs. 13.2%-STEMI; 20.3% vs. 15.6%-NSTEMI) mortality than men. After adjusting for confounders, women had a lower all-cause mortality when compared to men.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Outcomes attributed to women and people of South Asian ethnicity may be attributable to age, comorbidity and frailty at presentation. Black ethnicity, geography, and social deprivation may be sources of inequality. These findings highlight the unmet need and may provide potential targets for interventions that address inequalities.</p>","PeriodicalId":11869,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal - Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes","volume":" ","pages":"773-782"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12445677/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143064491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MACE, a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), target-lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis was the primary endpoint. Subgroup analyses were performed for unprotected left main (ULM) and non-ULM disease. PSM generated 1743 pairs. MACE occurred in 154 (9%) patients in the IVUS-guided group and in 199 (11%) patients in the angio-guided group (P = 0.09). IVUS guidance was associated with lower MACE in the ULM population [hazard ratio (HR) 0.62, 95% confidence internal (CI) 0.46-0.83], but had no impact in the non-ULM population (HR 1.12, 95% CI 0.83-1.51), P for interaction = 0.006. IVUS was associated with a reduction in all-MI (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16-0.64) in the ULM population and with lower stent thrombosis (ST) in the non-ULM population (HR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08-0.71). Provisional stenting was associated with lower MACE in the ULM population (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.45-0.98), whereas kissing balloon (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.56-0.99) and ultra-thin stents (HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.29-0.67) were protective factors in the non-ULM population.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In a real-world scenario, IVUS guidance during drug eluting stent (DES) implantation is associated with a lower rate of MACE in patients with ULM coronary bifurcation lesions.
