Background: Little is known about the bleeding risk associated with cangrelor use in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) who are exposed to an oral P2Y inhibitor before coronary angiography.
Methods: Cangrelor in Acute MI: Effectiveness and Outcomes (CAMEO) is an observational registry studying platelet inhibition for patients with MI. Upstream oral P2Y inhibition was defined as receipt of an oral P2Y inhibitor within 24 hours before hospitalization or in-hospital before angiography. Among cangrelor-treated patients, we compared bleeding after cangrelor use through 7 days postdischarge between patients with and without upstream oral P2Y inhibitor exposure.
Results: Among 1802 cangrelor-treated patients with MI, 385 (21.4%) received upstream oral P2Y inhibitor treatment. Of these, 101 patients (33.8%) started cangrelor within 1 hour, 103 (34.4%) between 1 and 3 hours, and 95 (31.8%), >3 hours after in-hospital oral P2Y inhibitor administration; the remaining received an oral P2Y inhibitor before hospitalization. There was no statistically significant difference in rates of bleeding among cangrelor-treated patients with and without upstream oral P2Y inhibitor exposure (6.5% vs 8.8%; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.62; 95% CI, 0.38-1.01). Bleeding was observed in 5.0%, 10.7%, and 3.2% of patients treated with cangrelor <1, 1 to 3, and >3 hours after the last oral PY inhibitor dose, respectively; bleeding rates were not statistically different between groups (1-3 hours vs <1 hour: adjusted OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 0.87-8.32; >3 hours vs <1 hour: adjusted OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.15-2.85).
Conclusions: Bleeding risk was not observed to be significantly higher after cangrelor treatment in patients with and without upstream oral P2Y12 inhibitor exposure.
