Impact of multivessel disease on reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction
Structured PICO
Does multivessel disease affect reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary PCI for AMI?
P
Population
Patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction
I
Intervention
Presence of multivessel disease (extensive CAD in vessels remote from the infarct-related artery)
O
Outcome
Reperfusion success and clinical outcomes
Multivessel disease in AMI patients undergoing primary PCI is associated with reduced reperfusion success and worse prognosis.
Abstract
Patients with extensive CAD in vessels remote from the infarct-related artery have reduced reperfusion success and an adverse prognosis following primary PCI in AMI. Future studies regarding the optimal treatment of patients with multivessel disease and AMI are warranted.
