Current studies demonstrating the effects of nicorandil in the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are inconclusive due to the small sample size and small events rate.PubMed, OVID, CBM and CNKI databases were searched using a pre-specified search string to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying the effects of nicorandil on CAD patients receiving PCI. Data on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events were collected. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis was conducted in patients receiving primary PCI (PPCI) and elective PCI (EPCI).A total of 18 RCTs were included in our final analysis. Nicorandil treatment significantly reduced total mortality in PPCI (Peto OR = 0.44, 95%CI 0.25-0.79, P = 0.006) and EPCI (Peto OR = 0.41, 95%CI 0.25-0.67, P = 0.0004), cardiovascular death in both PPCI (Peto OR = 0.41, 95%CI 0.20-0.84, P = 0.01) and EPCI (Peto OR = 0.40, 95%CI 0.20-0.80, P = 0.009), and heart failure in PPCI (RR = 0.36, 95%CI 0.22-0.59, P &lt; 0.0001). When compared with placebo plus standard treatment or standard treatment alone, nicorandil plus standard treatment was associated with reduced total mortality in both PPCI and EPCI, CV death in EPCI, and heart failure in PPCI. Nicorandil is associated with lower risks of total mortality and CV death in PPCI and EPCI in those who received nicorandil &gt; 28 days.Nicorandil as an adjunct therapy along with PCI is associated with reduced total mortality and cardiovascular death in PPCI and EPCI patients, and reduced heart failure in PPCI patients.
