We assessed the ability of predicting mortality and total in-hospital bleeding and adverse
outcomes by the Academic Research Consortium High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria in
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary
percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). A total of 1441 STEMI patients were recruited:
HBR group 354 (25%) patients and non-HBR group of 1087 (75%) patients. A total of 131
patients (9%) had a bleeding complication during hospitalization. The bleeding …

Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) are at increased risk for thrombotic and bleeding complications compared to
patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The academic research consortium (ARC)
recently suggested a set of criteria to identify patients at high bleeding risk (HBR). We sought
to evaluate the performance of the ARC-HBR criteria among patients undergoing PCI
according to clinical presentation. We included all consecutive patients undergoing PCI at a …
