Background

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has evolved, including the introduction of stents and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors (GPI). The effects of these changes and other variables on long-term survival for a single-centre service were studied.

Methods

A prospective database of clinical and angiographic variables were kept for patients treated with PPCI in Waikato Hospital from 1996 to 2006 (n = 527). This was analysed with long-term mortality data. Survival was recorded using Kaplan–Meier curves. Multivariate analysis of factors at presentation, including ethnicity was performed.

Results

5, 8 & 10-year survival rates were 76.5 % (n = 274), 72.7 % (n = 125) & 71.0 % (n = 19) respectively. Increased stent (42.8 % vs. 84.1 % , p < 0.001) and GPI (39.6 % vs. 73.3 % , p < 0.001) use was seen between early and late stages of the study. Stent use was associated with greater 5-year survival (80.5 % vs. 70.8 % , p = 0.02), but GPI use was not. Multivariate analysis showed stent use independently predicted reduced mortality. Age, Maori ethnicity, renal failure and cardiogenic shock predicted higher mortality.

Conclusions

Survival after PPCI remains high long-term. Stent and GPI use significantly increased. Stent, but not GPI, use was associated with improved survival. Maori ethnicity was under-represented in the study and is associated with worse long-term outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI).
