Why the study?
Does PCI compared to CABG affect mortality in patients with ULMCA-related AMI?
Does PCI compared to CABG affect mortality in patients with ULMCA-related AMI?
Mortality is high in patients presenting with ULMCA-related AMI regardless of revascularization strategy, with cardiogenic shock, TIMI 0/1 flow, and diabetes being independent predictors of 30-day mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High mortality after ULMCA-related AMI revascularization warrants clinical caution; observational data leave open the preferred strategy.
Grundeken et al. (2013) studied this question.
