Abstract Background Significance of totally occluded culprit coronary artery in patients presenting with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is underestimated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence and impact of totally occluded culprit artery on in-hospital and 6 months follow-up outcomes of NSTEMI acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Results We collected retrospectively data of 500 NSTEMI patients who presented to our hospital from June 2016 to June 2017. All patients underwent PCI within 72 h of presentation. We excluded patients with cardiogenic shock, prior CABG, and STEMI. Patients were divided into two groups according to pre-procedural culprit vessel thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow. Group 1, TIMI flow 0 total coronary occlusion, included 112 patients (22.4%). Group 2, TIMI flow 1–3 non-total occlusion, included 388 patients (77.6%). Group 1 patients had significantly higher incidence of smoking (p=0.01), significantly higher level of cardiac enzymes (p |
