Incidence and clinical outcomes of bleeding complications and acute limb ischemia in STEMI and cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bleeding complications and acute limb ischemia (ALI) are devastating vascular complications in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Cardiogenic shock (CS) can further increase this risk due to multiorgan failure. In the contemporary era, percutaneous mechanical circulatory support is commonly used for management of CS. We hypothesized that vascular complications may be an important determinant of clinical outcomes for CS due to STEMI (CS-STEMI).

Objective

We evaluated 10-year national trends, resource utilization and outcomes of bleeding complications, and ALI in CS-STEMI.

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study of CS-STEMI patients from a large U.S. national database (National Inpatient Sample) between 2005 and 2014.
