Abstract 12850: Complex Lesion Characteristics Would be the Potential Risk Factors for Ventricular Fibrillation With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background: In the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ventricular fibrillation (VF) was serious and fatal complication. However, even though ischemia was well known as the risk for occurrence of VF, what influential factors of ACS patients related to VF were still unclear. We performed extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation for VF with ACS patients taken to our institute and performed coronary angiography to make definite diagnosis. Accordingly, We sought to the risk factors for VF with ACS. Methods: Consecutive 246 ACS patients hospitalized and underwent emergent coronary revascularization from September 2010 to September 2014 were enrolled. In these, patients with VF were categorized into VF group, and patients without VF were into non-VF group. We reviewed patients’ characteristics, including medications, past histories and laboratory findings, and CAG findings (lesion characteristics with ACC/AHA classification, number of disease vessels, existence of chronic total occlusion (CTO) and lef...
