Abstract Introduction No-reflow (NR) is one of the major complications associated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aimed to elucidate the relationship between the CHA2DS2-VASc score and NR phenomena in patients with NSTEMI. Methods A total number of 428 consecutive patients with NSTEMI were assessed for this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups, those with NR, NR(+) (n=84), and those without NR, NR(−) (n=307), according to their post-PCI, no-reflow status. The thrombus burden was classified according to the TIMI thrombus grade (TTG). CHA2DS2-VASc scores were calculated for all patients. Results The CHA2DS2-VASc score was significantly higher in the NR(+) group compared to the NR(−) (3.48±1.19 vs 1.81±0.82, p<0.001). After a multivariate regression analysis, a higher CHA2DS2-VASc score (OR: 6.52, 95% CI: 3.51–12.14, p<0.001), hs-Troponin (OR: 1.077, 95% CI: 1.056–1.099, p<0.001) and TTG (OR: 1.563, 95% CI: 1.134–2.154, p=0.006) were independent predictors of NR. In-hospital mortality rates were significantly higher in the NR(+) group compared to the NR(−) (15% vs. 5%, p<0.001). Table 1.
