To evaluate the association between circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines and the occurrence of post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) coronary slow flow (CSF) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). CSF after PCI commonly occurs and implies poor outcomes, while the determinants of post-PCI CSF in patients with NSTE-ACS remain controversial. In this multicenter case control study, 176 patients diagnosed with NSTE-ACS and with post-PCI CSF occurred composed of CSF group, while 352 matched NSTE-ACS patients composed control group. Corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction frame count (cTFC), circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines and PCI related parameters were analyzed using Logistic regression models. Among 528 patients with median age of 67 (59–76) and male proportion of 65.5%, 176 (35.0%) patients had occurrence of post-PCI CSF defined as cTFC ≥ 24. Patients with CSF presented more intense inflammatory activity revealed by higher levels of white blood cell, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), while PCI related parameters were comparable. Correlation analysis showed cTFC was positively correlated with those inflammatory cytokines. Logistic regression model indicates that hs-CRP (odds ratio (OR) = 3.038, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.545–5.975), sIL-2R (OR = 2.103, 95% CI 1.959–4.026) and TNF-α (OR = 3.708, 95% CI 1.426–9.641) were valuable predictors for CSF occurrence. Elevated circulating levels of inflammatory cytokine including hs-CRP, sIL-2R and TNF-α rather than PCI related parameters could predict post-PCI CSF in patients with NSTE-ACS.
