High Platelet Reactivity after Transition from Cangrelor to Ticagrelor in Hypothermic Cardiac Arrest Survivors with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Transition from cangrelor to oral P2Y12 inhibitors after PCI carries the risk of platelet function recovery and acute stent thrombosis. Whether the recommended transition regimen is appropriate for hypothermic cardiac arrest survivors is unknown. We assessed the rate of high platelet reactivity (HPR...

Sumario: | Transition from cangrelor to oral P2Y12 inhibitors after PCI carries the risk of platelet function recovery and acute stent thrombosis. Whether the recommended transition regimen is appropriate for hypothermic cardiac arrest survivors is unknown. We assessed the rate of high platelet reactivity (HPR) after transition from cangrelor to ticagrelor in hypothermic cardiac arrest survivors. Adult survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who were treated for hypothermia (33 °C ± 1) and received intravenous cangrelor during PCI and subsequent oral loading with 180mg ticagrelor were enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. Platelet function was assessed using whole blood aggregometry. HPR was defined as AUC > 46U. The primary endpoint was the rate of HPR (%) at predefined time points during the first 24 h after cangrelor cessation. Poisson regression was used to estimate the relationship between the overlap time of cangrelor and ticagrelor co-administration and the number of subsequent HPR episodes, expressed as incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Between December 2017 and October 2019 16 patients (81% male, 58 years) were enrolled. On average, ticagrelor was administered 39 min (IQR 5–50) before the end of cangrelor infusion. The rate of HPR was highest 90 min after cangrelor cessation and was present in 44% (7/16) of patients. The number of HPR episodes increased significantly with decreasing overlap time of cangrelor and ticagrelor co-administration (IRR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01–1.05; p = 0.005). In this selected cohort of hypothermic cardiac arrest survivors who received cangrelor during PCI, ticagrelor loading within the recommended time frame before cangrelor cessation resulted in a substantial amount of patients with HPR. |
