CPORT- E Trial Randomized trial comparing outcomes of non-primary PCI at hospitals with and without on-site cardiac surgery
Motivation for Trial Sustain primary PCI program at no-SOS hospitals Improve access to PCI services Reduce pressure to create additional cardiac surgery programs Need for research to inform healthcare policy decisions by state and national organizations

Study Endpoints Non-inferiority trial Primary Endpoints All-cause mortality at 6 weeks MACE at 9 months All-cause mortality Q-wave myocardial infarction Target vessel revascularization Assuming 6 week mortality to be 0.8%, a sample size of was selected to define a non-inferiority margin of 0.4% with a one-sided test for non-inferiority using α=0.05 and β=0.80 for both primary endpoints.

Summary Angiographic Outcomes PCI Success > 90% in both groups but lower in hospitals without surgery on-site (success rate difference of 1.1% on per patient basis; 0.7% on per lesion basis) Number of catheterization laboratory visits required to complete the index PCI is greater in patients randomized to hospitals with surgery on-site (1.3 versus 1.7 visits/patient) Unplanned procedure outcomes Unplanned catheterization and PCI procedures were uncommon but occurred more frequently in patients randomized to hospitals without surgery on-site (4.4% no-SOS vs 3.4% SOS) Emergency coronary CABG was rarely required, but was utilized more among patients at hospitals with surgery on-site (0.1% no-SOS vs 0.2% SOS) Patient Outcomes Mortality is similar in both groups (0.91% no-SOS vs 0.93% SOS) The incidence of bleeding, vascular repair, stroke and renal failure is similar in both groups
Conclusion In hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery that complete a formal PCI development program, adhere to C-PORT participation requirements, and whose outcomes are monitored, non-primary PCI is safe and associated with similar rates of adverse events including mortality. Long-term, quality outcome data are currently being collected on these study subjects and will be reported early in 2012.
