Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of out-of-the-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, there is no consensus on whether OHCA patients without ST-segment elevation (STE) benefit from emergent (ie 2 h) coronary angiography (CAG). Our aim was to assess the impact of emergent CAG in no-STE OHCA patients.We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, CINAHL and JBI databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing emergent CAG versus standard of care (ie CAG2 h after OHCA or not performed) in no-STE OHCA patients of presumed cardiac aetiology. The primary outcome was short term survival. Secondary outcomes included survival with good neurological outcome, mid-term survival, left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), acute kidney injury (AKI) and renal replacement therapy (RRT), ventricular arrhythmias and major bleeding during hospital stay.Seven RCTs met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included; one was included only in the analysis of mid-term survival and another in the LVEF analysis. Five studies (1278 patients, 643 with early CAG and 635 with no early CAG) were included in the analysis of the primary endpoint. The groups were balanced for all baseline characteristics but previous PCI, which was more frequent in the standard of care groups. There were no significant differences between groups for short-term survival (57 vs 61%; OR0.85, 95% CI0.68-1.07; IRoutine emergent CAG did not improve survival in comatose survivors of OHCA with shockable rhythm and no-STE. |
