Structured PICO

Population

62 consecutive patients with myocardial infarction (23 STEMI and 39 NSTEMI) and unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease, mean age 70 +/- 12 years, 24% with cardiogenic shock.

Intervention

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES)

Outcome

Clinical outcomes including in-hospital major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rate and mortality, and long-term MACE and mortalitycomposite

PCI with DES is technically feasible and associated with acceptable long-term outcomes in high-risk patients presenting with MI and ULMCA disease.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Identifies mortality predictors after PCI for MI with ULMCA; leaves open whether they should guide management pending prospective trials.
