Popis: Background: Stent thrombosis (ST) remains the most feared complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, this study aimed to determine acute and sub-acute ST incidence, predictors, and outcomes after primary PCI. Methods: This prospective observational study included patients who had undergone primary PCI at a tertiary care cardiac center. All the patients were followed at 30-days of index hospitalization for the incidence of acute or sub-acute ST. ST was further categorized as definite, probable, or possible per the Academic Research Consortium definition. All the survivors of ST were followed after 6-months for the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Results: An aggregate of 1756 patients were included with 79% (1388) male patients and mean age was 55.59 ± 11.23 years. The incidence of ST was 4.9% (86) with 1.3% (22) acute and 3.6% (64) sub-acute. ST was categorized as definite in 3.3% (58) and probable in 1.6% (28). Independent predictor of ST were observed to be male gender (odds ratio (OR); 2.51 [1.21–5.2]), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ≥20 mmHg (OR; 2.55 [1.31–4.98]), and pre-procedure thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow 0 (OR; 3.27 [1.61–6.65]). Cumulative all-cause mortality among patients with ST after 164.1 ± 76.2 days was 46.5% (40/86). Conclusion: We observed a substantial number of patients vulnerable to the acute or sub-acute ST after primary PCI. Male gender, LVEDP, pre-procedure TIMI flow grade can be used to identify and efficiently manage highly vulnerable patients.
