Article Synopsis
- Many patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have multivessel disease, and there is uncertainty about the best treatment approach for revascularization.
- This study analyzed the outcomes of immediate multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus staged PCI in a large cohort of nearly 186,112 AMI patients, focusing on long-term survival and stroke risks.
- Results showed that immediate multivessel PCI was linked to worse long-term outcomes and higher mortality rates compared to staged PCI, highlighting the significance of timing in treating multivessel coronary artery issues.
