Abstract
AbstractEarly diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignancies in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often delayed. The present study aims to demonstrate the value of [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 PET imaging in ACS with suspected gastrointestinal malignancies. Twelve ACS patients with suspected gastrointestinal malignancies were enrolled, including ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n = 5), non‐ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n = 5), and unstable angina (UA) (n = 2). All patients underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 PET/MR or PET/CT within 1 week. All five STEMI and five NSTEMI patients had high [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 uptake in the injured myocardium compared to remote area (TBR: 2.10 ± 0.72 vs. 0.62 ± 013; p < .001), correlated with peak cTnI level (R = .82, p = .004). No [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 in the myocardium was found in UA patients. NSTEMI displayed a similar myocardial [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 intensity as STEMI (p = .42). Compared with STEMI, NSTEMI patients had a significantly delayed door‐to‐balloon time for reperfusion treatment (p = .023). High uptake of [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 in the gastrointestinal tract was detected in three patients. Because of no myocardial [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 expression, they discontinued antiplatelet therapy and underwent endoscopy. The rectal, colon, and gastric cancer diagnoses were made by biopsy. The other nine patients showed no accumulation of [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 beyond the heart, and invasive tumor examinations were delayed. During a median 6‐month follow‐up, no tumor formation was observed. [68Ga]Ga‐FAPI‐04 PET imaging is valuable to assess injured myocardium, detect tumors, and guide invasive examinations in ACS patients with suspected gastrointestinal malignancies.
