ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recent studies suggest that the presence of calcified nodules (CN) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We investigated clinical predictors of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined CN in ACS patients in a prospective multicenter registry.MethodsâandâResults:
We investigated 695 patients enrolled in the TACTICS registry who underwent OCT assessment of the culprit lesion during primary percutaneous coronary intervention. OCT-CN was defined as calcific nodules erupting into the lumen with disruption of the fibrous cap and an underlying calcified plate. Compared with patients without OCT-CN, patients with OCT-CN (n=28) were older (mean [±SD] age 75.0±11.3 vs. 65.7±12.7 years; P<0.001), had a higher prevalence of diabetes (50.0% vs. 29.4%; P=0.034), hemodialysis (21.4% vs. 1.6%; P<0.001), and Killip Class III/IV heart failure (21.4% vs. 5.7%; P=0.003), and a higher preprocedural SYNTAX score (median [interquartile range] score 15 [11-25] vs. 11 [7-19]; P=0.003). On multivariable analysis, age (odds ratio [OR] 1.072; P<0.001), hemodialysis (OR 16.571; P<0.001), and Killip Class III/IV (OR 4.466; P=0.004) were significantly associated with the presence of OCT-CN. In non-dialysis patients (n=678), age (OR 1.081; P<0.001), diabetes (OR 3.046; P=0.014), and Killip Class III/IV (OR 4.414; P=0.009) were significantly associated with the presence of OCT-CN.CONCLUSIONS:
The TACTICS registry shows that OCT-CN is associated with lesion severity and poor clinical background, which may worsen prognosis.
