Safety and efficacy of perioperative continuous renal replacement therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention in severe acute myocardial infarction patients.

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with severe acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study analyzed data from 945 AMI patients hospitalized between January 2016 and December 2017, out of which 21 patients underwent perioperative CRRT for PCI. We assessed the baseline characteristics of severe AMI patients before and after CRRT and examined the effect of CRRT on cardiac, renal, and liver function, as well as other indicators. The heart rate of patients undergoing CRRT was significantly lower at 24 h and 48 h after CRRT than before CRRT (p=0.038). There was a moderate but not significant decrease in the mean systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure (p>0.05). Importantly, we found that significantly more patients showed Killip class I-II and significantly improved cardiac function after CRRT (23.8% vs. 57.1%, p=0.001). The levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and total bilirubin were significantly lowered after CRRT treatment (p<0.05). Perioperative management of CRRT was safe and effective for severe AMI patients.
