Predictive value of the Naples prognostic score for no-reflow phenomenon after saphenous vein graft stenting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No-reflow is a critical adverse event associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly during saphenous vein graft (SVG) procedures. The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) reflects inflammatory status, but its relationship with no-reflow remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between NPS and no-reflow occurrence following SVG PCI.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 286 patients who underwent SVG PCI from January 2020 to January 2024, with a median age of 65 years and 85.7% male. Participants were categorized into low NPS (0-2, 48.6%) and high NPS (3-4, 51.4%) groups. Two nested models were developed by adding NPS (continuous and categorical, respectively) to the base model.

Results

Higher no-reflow rates were not
