Abstract
- Background and Objectives: Excessive coronary thrombus burden is known to cause an increase in mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in NSTE-ACS (non-ST acute coronary syndrome) patients. We investigated the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and coronary thrombus burden in patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who underwent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: A total of 389 patients with the diagnosis of NSTEMI participated in our study. Coronary thrombus burden was classified in the TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) thrombus grade scale and patients were divided into two groups: a TIMI thrombus grade 0–1 group (n = 209, 157 males) and a TIMI thrombus grade 2–6 group (n = 180, 118 males). Demographics, angiographic lesion images, coronary thrombus burden, clinical risk factors, laboratory parameters, and SII score were compared between the two groups. Results: The high thrombus burden patient group had a higher neutrophil count, WBC count, platelet count, and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (p < 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that at a cutoff of 1103, the value of SII manifested 74.4% sensitivity and 74.6% specificity for detecting a high coronary thrombus burden. Conclusions: Our study showed that the SII levels at hospital admission were independently associated with high coronary thrombus with NSTEMI.
