RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: To date, there has been no independent core lab angiographic analysis of patients with COVID-19 and STEMI. The study characterized the angiographic parameters of patients with COVID-19 and STEMI. METHODS: Angiograms of patients with COVID-19 and STEMI from the North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction (NACMI) Registry were sent to a Core Laboratory in Vancouver, Canada. Culprit lesion(s), Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow, Thrombus Grade Burden (TGB), and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcome were assessed. RESULTS: From 234 patients, 74% had one culprit lesion, 14% had multiple culprits and 12% had no culprit identified. Multivessel thrombotic disease and multivessel CAD were found in 27% and 53% of patients, respectively. Stent thrombosis accounted for 12% of the presentations and occurred in 55% of patients with previous coronary stents. Of the 182 who underwent PCI, 60 (33%) had unsuccessful PCI due to post-PCI TIMI flow <3 (43/60), residual high thrombus burden (41/60) and/or thrombus related complications (27/60). In-hospital mortality for successful, partially successful, and unsuccessful PCI was 14%, 13%, and 27%, respectively. Unsuccessful PCI was associated with increased risk of in-hospital mortality (risk ratio [RR] 1.96; 95% CI: 1.05-3.66, P = .03); in the adjusted model this estimate was attenuated (RR: 1.24; 95% CI: 0.65-2.34, P = .51). CONCLUSION: In patients with COVID-19 and STEMI, thrombus burden was pervasive with notable rates of multivessel thrombotic disease and stent thrombosis. Post-PCI, persistent thrombus and sub-optimal TIMI 3 flow rates led to one-third of the PCI's being unsuccessful, which decreased over time but remained an important predictor of in-hospital mortality.

Antiplatelet therapy (APT) is the foundation of treatment and prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Selecting the optimal APT strategies to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, while balancing bleeding risk, requires ongoing review of clinical trials. Appended, the focused update of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society/Canadian Association of Interventional Cardiology guidelines for the use of APT provides recommendations on the following topics: (1) use of acetylsalicylic acid in primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; (2) dual APT (DAPT) duration after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients at high bleeding risk; (3) potent DAPT (P2Y12 inhibitor) choice in patients who present with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and possible DAPT de-escalation strategies after PCI; (4) choice and duration of DAPT in ACS patients who are medically treated without revascularization; (5) pretreatment with DAPT (P2Y12 inhibitor) before elective or nonelective coronary angiography; (6) perioperative and longer-term APT management in patients who require coronary artery bypass grafting surgery; and (7) use of APT in patients with atrial fibrillation who require oral anticoagulation after PCI or medically managed ACS. These recommendations are all on the basis of systematic reviews and meta-analyses conducted as part of the development of these guidelines, provided in the Supplementary Material.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is the most common cause of stent failure. Although the rate of ISR is significantly lower with contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES), it remains a challenging clinical entity to treat. RECENT FINDINGS: In this review, we focus on a practical approach to management of DES ISR with intravascular imaging at its core, as supported by several recently published articles. This facilitates assessment of the underlying mechanism(s) essential to the successful treatment of ISR allowing for a tailored selection of treatment modalities. SUMMARY: The successful treatment of DES ISR requires identification of the causative mechanism(s). Individualized treatment may include high-pressure balloon angioplasty alone, cutting or scoring balloons, intravascular lithotripsy, atheroablative therapies and a selection of either repeat DES implantation or drug-coated balloon treatment.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac stress testing (CST) is commonly performed after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet little is known whether such ischemic testing is associated with improved clinical outcomes. METHODS: We studied patients who underwent their first PCI procedure from October 2008 to December 2016 in Ontario, Canada. Patients who underwent CST from 60 days to 1 year after PCI were compared with those who did not undergo CST. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for myocardial infarction (MI) at 3 years after CST. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to adjust for potential differences between the study groups. RESULTS: Among the 86,150 included patients, 40,988 (47.6%) underwent CST within 60 days to 1 year after PCI. Patients who underwent CST had higher prescription rates of cardiac medications. At 1 year after CST, rates of cardiac catheterisation and coronary revascularisation were more than double those observed in the nontested group (13.4% vs 5.9%, standardised difference [SD] 0.26, for cardiac catheterisation; 6.6% vs 2.7%, SD 0.19, for PCI). The CST group had a significantly lower primary event rate at 3 years compared without CST (3.9% vs 4.5%, hazard ratio 0.87, 95% confidence interval 0.81-0.93). CONCLUSIONS: This population-based study of PCI patients found a small but significantly lower risk of cardiovascular events among patients who received CST. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine the specific aspects of care that may be associated with the modestly improved outcomes.

Background: Important health care differences exist between the United States (US) and Canada, which may have been exacerbated during the pandemic. We compared clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and clinical outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and COVID-19 (STEMI-COVID) treated in the US and Canada. Methods: The North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction registry is a prospective, investigator-initiated study enrolling patients with STEMI with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 in the US and Canada. The primary end point was in-hospital mortality. Additionally, we explored associations between vaccination and clinical outcomes. Results: Of 853 patients with STEMI-COVID, 112 (13%) were enrolled in Canada, and compared with the US, patients in Canada were more likely to present with chest pain and less likely to have a history of heart failure, stroke/transient ischemic attack, pulmonary infiltrates or renal failure. In both countries, the primary percutaneous coronary intervention was the dominant reperfusion strategy, with no difference in door-to-balloon times; fibrinolysis was used less frequently in the US than in Canada. The adjusted in-hospital mortality was not different between the 2 countries (relative risk [RR], 1.0; 95% CI, 0.46-2.72; P = 1.0). However, the risk of in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in unvaccinated compared with vaccinated patients with STEMI-COVID (RR, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.7-11.53; P = .015). Conclusions: Notable differences in morbidities and reperfusion strategies were evident between patients with STEMI-COVID in the US compared with Canada. No differences were noted for in-hospital mortality. Vaccination, regardless of region, appeared to associate with a lower risk of in-hospital mortality strongly.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Selecting the appropriate antithrombotic regimen for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or have had medically managed acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains complex. This multi-centre observational study evaluated patterns of antithrombotic therapies utilized among Canadian patients with AF post-PCI or ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS: By retrospective chart audit, 611 non-valvular AF patients [median (interquartile range) age 76 (69-83) years, CHADS2 score 2 (1-3)] who underwent PCI or had medically managed ACS between August 2018 and December 2020 were identified by 68 cardiologists across eight provinces in Canada. Overall, triple antithrombotic therapy [TAT: combined oral anticoagulation (OAC) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)] was the most common initial antithrombotic strategy, with use in 53.8â¯% of patients, followed by dual pathway therapy (32.7â¯% received OAC and a P2Y12 inhibitor, and 4.1â¯% received OAC and aspirin) and DAPT (9.3â¯%). Median duration of TAT was 30 (7, 30) days. Compared to the previous CONNECT AFâ¯+â¯PCI-I program, there was an increased use of dual pathway therapy relative to TAT over time (P-value <.0001). DOACs (direct oral anticoagulants) represented 90.3â¯% of all OACs used overall, with apixaban being the most utilized (50.5â¯%). Proton pump inhibitors were used in 57.0â¯% of all patients, and 70.1â¯% of patients on ASA. Planned antithrombotic therapies at 1â¯year were: 76.2â¯% OAC monotherapy, 8.3â¯% OACâ¯+â¯ASA, 7.9â¯% OACâ¯+â¯P2Y12 inhibitor, 4.3â¯% DAPT, 1.3â¯% ASA alone, and <1â¯% triple therapy. CONCLUSION: In accordance with recent Canadian Cardiovascular Society guideline recommendations, we observed an increased use of dual pathway therapy relative to TAT over time in both AF patients post-PCI (elective and emergent) and in those with medically managed ACS. Additionally, DOACs have become the prevailing form of anticoagulation across all antithrombotic regimens. Our findings suggest that Canadian physicians are integrating evidence-based approaches to optimally manage the bleeding and thrombotic risks of AF patients post-PCI and/or ACS.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a significant increase in worldwide morbidity and mortality. Patients with COVID-19 are at risk for developing a variety of cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary syndromes, stress-induced cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. Patients with COVID-19 who develop ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality when compared with their age- and sex-matched STEMI patients without COVID-19. We review current knowledge on the pathophysiology of STEMI in patients with COVID-19, clinical presentation, outcomes, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall STEMI care.

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicating COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of cardiogenic shock and mortality. However, little is known about the frequency of use and clinical impact of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in these patients. We sought to define patterns of MCS utilization, patient characteristics, and outcomes in patients with COVID-19 with STEMI. The NACMI (North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction) is an ongoing prospective, observational registry of patients with COVID-19 positive (COVID-19+) with STEMI with a contemporary control group of persons under investigation who subsequently tested negative for COVID-19 (COVID-19-). We compared the baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of COVID-19+ and patients with COVID-19- according to the use of MCS. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital mortality, stroke, recurrent MI, and repeat unplanned revascularization. A total of 1,379 patients (586 COVID-19+ and 793 COVID-19-) enrolled in the NACMI registry between January 2020 and November 2021 were included in this analysis; overall, MCS use was 12.3% (12.1% [n = 71] COVID-19+/MCS positive [MCS+] vs 12.4% [n = 98] COVID-19-/MCS+). Baseline characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. The use of percutaneous coronary intervention was similar between the groups (84% vs 78%; p = 0.404). Intra-aortic balloon pump was the most frequently used MCS device in both groups (53% in COVID-19+/MCS+ and 75% in COVID-19-/MCS+). The primary outcome was significantly higher in COVID-19+/MCS+ patients (60% vs 30%; p = 0.001) because of very high in-hospital mortality (59% vs 28%; p = 0.001). In conclusion, patients with COVID-19+ with STEMI requiring MCS have very high in-hospital mortality, likely related to the significantly higher pulmonary involvement compared with patients with COVID-19- with STEMI requiring MCS.

BACKGROUND: Data on the association of multimorbidity and functional impairment with cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV outcomes among older myocardial infarction (MI) patients are limited. HYPOTHESIS: Multimorbidity and functional impairment among older MI patients are associated with CV and non-CV mortality. METHODS: Patients aged ≥65 years, 1-3 years post-MI, and enrolled between June 2013 and Novemeber 2014 from 349 sites in 25 countries in the global TIGRIS registry were categorized by age, number of comorbidities, and presence and degree of functional impairment. Functional impairment was calculated using five-dimension EuroQol based on three domains-mobility, self-care, and usual activities. The association between age, number of comorbid conditions, and degree of functional impairment with 2-year incidence of CV and non-CV death was evaluated using Poisson regression analysis. RESULTS: Older age was associated with higher number of comorbidities and functional impairment; after adjustment, increasing age was significantly associated with non-CV mortality (p = .03) but not CV mortality (p = .38). Greater functional impairment was associated with a higher rate and relatively equal magnitude risk of CV (rate ratios [RR] 1.52, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.29-1.79, per one-step increase) and non-CV mortality (RR 1.42, 95% CI: 1.17-1.73). Multimorbidity was more strongly associated with CV mortality (RR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.38-1.67, per additional comorbidity) versus non-CV mortality (RR 1.29, 95% CI: 1.14-1.47, per additional comorbidity). CONCLUSIONS: Multimorbidity and functional impairment are prevalent among older post-MI patients and are associated with increased CV and non-CV mortality. These findings highlight the importance of considering comorbid conditions and functional impairment as predictors of risk for adverse outcomes and aspects of medical decision making. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01866904.

Background: In-hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is higher in those with COVID-19 than in those without COVID-19. The factors that predispose to this mortality rate and their relative contribution are poorly understood. This study developed a risk score inclusive of clinical variables to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 and STEMI. Methods: Baseline demographic, clinical, and procedural data from patients in the North American COVID-19 Myocardial Infarction registry were extracted. Univariable logistic regression was performed using candidate predictor variables, and multivariable logistic regression was performed using backward stepwise selection to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Independent predictors were assigned a weighted integer, with the sum of the integers yielding the total risk score for each patient. Results: In-hospital mortality occurred in 118 of 425 (28%) patients. Eight variables present at the time of STEMI diagnosis (respiratory rate of >35 breaths/min, cardiogenic shock, oxygen saturation of <93%, age of >55 âyears, infiltrates on chest x-ray, kidney disease, diabetes, and dyspnea) were assigned a weighted integer. In-hospital mortality increased exponentially with increasing integer risk score (Cochran-Armitage χ2, P â< â.001), and the model demonstrated good discriminative power (c-statistic â= â0.81) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow, P â= â.40). The increasing risk score was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality (3.6%-60% mortality for low-risk and very high-risk score categories, respectively). Conclusions: The risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 and STEMI can be accurately predicted and discriminated using readily available clinical information.
RESUMEN
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a significant increase in worldwide morbidity and mortality. Patients with COVID-19 are at risk for developing a variety of cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary syndromes, stress-induced cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. Patients with COVID-19 who develop ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality when compared with their age- and sex-matched STEMI patients without COVID-19. We review current knowledge on the pathophysiology of STEMI in patients with COVID-19, clinical presentation, outcomes, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on overall STEMI care.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the prevalence and prognostic impact of preexisting frailty on acute care and in-hospital outcomes in older adults in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: Preexisting frailty was assessed at baseline in consecutive AMI patients ≥65 years of age treated at 778 hospitals participating in the NCDR ACTION Registry between January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Three domains of preexisting frailty (cognition, ambulation, and functional independence) were abstracted from chart review and summed in 2 ways: an ACTION Frailty Scale based on responses to 6 groups adapted from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale and an ACTION Frailty Score derived by summing a rank score of 0-2 assigned for each grade (total ranged between 0 to 6). Multivariable logistic regression examined the association between assigned frailty by score or scale and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: Among 143,722 older AMI patients, 108,059 (75.2%) were fit and/or well and 6,484 (4.5%) were vulnerable to frailty, while 7,527 (5.2%) had mild, 3,913 (2.7%) had moderate, 2,715 had (1.9%) severe, and 632 (0.4%) had very severe frailty according to the ACTION Frailty Scale, while 14,392 (10.0%) could not be categorized due to incomplete ascertainment. Frail patients were older, more frequently female, of non-white race and/or ethnicity, and less likely to be treated with guideline-recommended therapies. Increasing severity of frailty by this scale was associated with a step-wise higher risk for in-hospital mortality (P-trend < .001). Patient categories of the ACTION Frailty Score provided similar results. After adjustment, each 1-unit increase in Frailty Score was associated with a 12% higher mortality risk (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.10-1.15). CONCLUSIONS: Among older patients with acute myocardial infarction, frailty is common and independently associated with in-hospital mortality. These findings show the importance of pragmatic evaluation of frailty in hospital-level quality scores, guideline recommendations, and incorporation into other registry data collection efforts.

BACKGROUND: Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are common and are associated with lower percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) success rates, often due to failure of antegrade guidewire crossing. Local, intralesional delivery of collagenase (MZ-004) may facilitate guidewire crossing in CTO. AIMS: To evaluate the effect of MZ-004 in facilitating antegrade wire crossing in CTO angioplasty. METHODS: A total of 76 patients undergoing CTO PCI were enrolled at 13 international sites: 38 in the randomized training stage (collagenase [MZ-004] 900 or 1200 µg) and 38 in the placebo-controlled stage (MZ-004 900 or 1200 µg or placebo). Patients received the MZ-004 or identical volume saline (placebo group) in a double-blind design, injected via microcatheter directly into the proximal cap of the CTO. The following day patients underwent CTO PCI using antegrade wire techniques only. RESULTS: Patients were generally similar except for a trend for higher Japanese chronic total occlusion (J-CTO) score in the MZ-004 group (MZ-004 J-CTO score 1.9 vs. 1.4, p = 0.07). There was a numerical increase in the rates of guidewire crossing in the MZ-004 groups compared to placebo (74% vs. 63%, p = 0.52). Guidewire crossing with a soft-tip guidewire (≤1.5 g tip load) was significantly higher in the MZ-004 groups (0% in placebo, 17% in 900 µg, and 29% in 1200 µg MZ-004 group, p = 0.03). Rates of the major adverse cardiovascular event were similar between groups. CONCLUSION: Local delivery of MZ-004 into coronary CTOs appears safe and may facilitate CTO crossing, particularly with softer tipped guidewires. These data support the development of a pivotal trial to further evaluate this agent.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The optimal regimen of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CKD poses a challenge due to the increased bleeding and clotting tendencies, particularly since patients with CKD were underrepresented in randomized controlled trials. We examined the practice patterns of DAPT prescription stratified by the presence of CKD. The multicentre prospective Canadian Observational Antiplatelet Study (COAPT) enrolled patients with ACS between December 2011 and May 2013. The present study is a subgroup analysis comparing type and duration of DAPT and associated outcomes among patients with and without CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, calculated by CKD-EPI). Patients with CKD (275/1921, 14.3%) were prescribed prasugrel/ticagrelor less (18.5% vs 25.8%, p = 0.01) and had a shorter duration of DAPT therapy versus patients without CKD (median 382 vs 402 days, p = 0.003). CKD was associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 12 months (p < 0.001) but not bleeding when compared to patients without CKD. CKD was associated with MACE in both patients on prasugrel/ticagrelor (p = 0.017) and those on clopidogrel (p < 0.001) (p for heterogeneity = 0.70). CKD was associated with increased bleeding only among patients receiving prasugrel/ticagrelor (p = 0.007), but not among those receiving clopidogrel (p = 0.64) (p for heterogeneity = 0.036). Patients with CKD had a shorter DAPT duration and were less frequently prescribed potent P2Y12 inhibitors than patients without CKD. Overall, compared with patients without CKD, patients with CKD had higher rates of MACE and similar bleeding rates. However, among those prescribed more potent P2Y12 inhibitors, CKD was associated with more bleeding than those without CKD. Further studies are needed to better define the benefit/risk evaluation, and establish a more tailored and evidence-based DAPT regimen for this high-risk patient group.

BACKGROUND: Patterns of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) use beyond 1 year post-myocardial infarction (MI) have not been well studied. METHODS: TIGRIS (NCT01866904) was a prospective, multi-center (369 centers in 24 countries), observational study of patients 1 to 3 years post-MI. We sought to identify the prevalence and determinants of DAPT use ≥1 year post-MI in patients enrolled in TIGRIS. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify determinants of DAPT use at 396 days post-MI (365 days plus a 31day overrun period to account for intended DAPT discontinuation at 1 year). Patients treated with an oral anticoagulant were excluded. RESULTS: Of 7708 patients (median age 67 years, women 25%, ST-elevation MI 50%), 39% and 16% were on DAPT at 396 days and 5 years post-MI, respectively. DAPT use at 396 days post-MI was more prevalent in patients <65 years of age, treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (versus coronary artery bypass grafting or medical therapy), and with multivessel disease or a history of angina. Additional clinical determinants of ischemic and/or bleeding events following MI (diabetes, second prior MI, hypertension, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, smoking, and renal insufficiency) were not independently associated with DAPT use at 396 days. There were geographic variations in the use of DAPT at 396 days (p<0.001), with the lowest use in Europe and the highest in Asia and Australia. CONCLUSION: In a contemporary patient cohort, DAPT use beyond 1 year post MI was prevalent and associated with patient and index event characteristics. There were marked geographical variations in DAPT use beyond 1 year post MI.

BACKGROUND: Despite the abundance of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) studies, the literature is not easy to digest for both general PCI operators and CTO PCI specialists because of the many varied terms used for approaches and inconsistency in terminology. This inconsistency makes it challenging to understand the advantages and disadvantages of these different approaches and, most importantly, their downstream clinical outcomes. Accordingly, we conducted a systematic review of all published studies on CTO PCI to describe techniques and algorithms used in the last decade to provide an overview on the efficacy and safety of contemporary CTO PCI techniques. METHODS: We performed a comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library databases for manuscripts about PCI of CTOs. We included studies published between the years 2005 and 2019. We categorized studies into those using a single approach (antegrade, retrograde) and those with a prespecified algorithm (ie, hybrid approach). RESULTS: Fifty-five observational studies including 28,907 patients who underwent CTO were included in this review. CTO PCI generally carries low risk of major procedural complications, with angiographic success rates being higher in studies that used an algorithmic vs single technical approach. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review highlights the wide variation in definitions and practices in CTO PCI and calls for standardization in terminology and practice.
CONTEXTE: Malgré l'abondance d'études sur l'intervention coronarienne percutanée (ICP) en cas d'occlusion totale chronique (OTC), la littérature n'est pas facile à assimiler, tant pour les opérateurs généraux qui effectuent des ICP que pour les spécialistes des ICP en cas d'OTC, en raison des nombreux termes utilisés pour les approches et de l'incohérence sur le plan de la terminologie. Cette incohérence rend difficile la compréhension des avantages et des inconvénients de ces différentes approches et, surtout, de leurs résultats cliniques en aval. Nous avons donc procédé à une revue systématique de toutes les études publiées sur l'ICP en cas d'OTC afin de décrire les techniques et les algorithmes utilisés au cours de la dernière décennie et de donner un aperçu de l'efficacité et de l'innocuité des techniques contemporaines d'ICP en cas d'OTC. MÉTHODOLOGIE: Nous avons effectué une recherche exhaustive dans les bases de données PubMed, EMBASE et Cochrane Library pour trouver des articles sur l'ICP en cas d'OTC. Nous avons retenu les études publiées entre 2005 et 2019. Nous avons classé ces études en deux catégories : celles qui utilisent une seule approche (antérograde, rétrograde) et celles qui utilisent un algorithme prédéfini (approche hybride). RÉSULTATS: Cette revue portait sur 55 études observationnelles, pour un total de 28 907 patients présentant des OTC. L'ICP en cas d'OTC comporte généralement un faible risque de complications importantes liées aux interventions, les taux de réussite angiographique étant plus élevés pour les études où une approche algorithmique était utilisée que pour celles où l'on recourait à une approche technique unique. CONCLUSIONS: Cette revue systématique souligne la grande variation des définitions et des pratiques en matière d'ICP en cas d'OTC, ainsi que le besoin d'une normalisation de la terminologie et de la pratique.
