Assessing the Safety of Early Repatriation for Stable ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Repatriation of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is common in regional health care programs. We examined the short- and long-term safety of early repatriation after PPCI in stable STEMI patients.

Methods

Consecutive stable STEMI patients undergoing PPCI between 2016 to 2018 in the Fraser Health Authority were included. Outcomes were compared between early and nonrepatriated cohorts. Co-primary outcomes were a composite of death, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and stroke at 30 days and 1 year. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine association between early repatriation and outcomes, and to assess impact of transfer to cardiologist- vs internist-ba
