Abstract
Background/Introduction: The correlation between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and abdominal
ascites or pleural effusion drainage of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, is not well
studied. Purpose: We aimed to identify the association between PCI and abdominal ascites o thoracic drainage
incidence of HFrEF patients enrolled in a Middle Eastern single centre heart failure registry. Methods: We
performed subgroup analysis of prospectively collected data of 174 consecutive HFrEF patients hospitalized
over 12month
period. Results: Ultrasound guided drainage was performed more frequently in ischemic
compared to nonischemic
cardiomyopathy patients (8% vs. 0.9%; P = 0.024). Among the 23 (13%) PCI
patients, there was no need for abdominal or thoracic drainage, compared to 151 (67%) nonPCI
patients (P
= < 0.0001). Females had higher statistically insignificant drainage incidence compared to males (10% vs. 4%;
P = 0.261). Conclusion: PCI is associated with significant reduction of drainage requirement of HFrEF
patients. Ischemic cardiomyopathy, female gender and nonPCI
feasible subgroups were at high risk for
abdominal or thoracic drainage requirement
