Objectives: The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of contemporary randomized trials addressing the efficacy and safety of multivessel versus culprit vessel-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Background: Multivessel coronary artery disease is present in about one-half of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Randomized controlled trials comparing multivessel and culprit vessel-only PCI produced conflicting results regarding the benefits of a multivessel PCI strategy.

Methods: A comprehensive search for published randomized controlled trials comparing multivessel PCI with culprit vessel-only PCI was conducted on ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO Services, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google Scholar, and scientific conference sessions from inception to September 15, 2019. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to calculate the risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Primary efficacy outcomes were all-cause mortality and reinfarction.

Results: Ten randomized controlled trials were included, representing 7,030 patients: 3,426 underwent multivessel PCI and 3,604 received culprit vessel-only PCI. Compared with culprit vessel-only PCI, multivessel PCI was associated with no significant difference in all-cause mortality (RR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.68 to 1.05) and lower risk for reinfarction (RR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.50 to 0.95), cardiovascular mortality (RR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.00), and repeat revascularization (RR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.25 to 0.44). Major bleeding (RR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.67), stroke (RR: 1.15; 95% CI: 0.65 to 2.01), and contrast-induced nephropathy (RR: 1.25; 95% CI: 0.80 to 1.95) were not significantly different between the 2 groups.

Conclusions: Multivessel PCI was associated with a lower risk for reinfarction, without any difference in all-cause mortality, compared with culprit vessel-only PCI in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, most but not all randomized trials have reported that complete revascularization (CR) offers advantages over culprit vessel-only revascularization. In addition, the optimal timing and assessment methods for CR remain undetermined.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: The consensus on whether acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) benefit from complete revascularization during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.

Aims: This study aims to assess the impact of multivessel PCI (MV-PCI) versus culprit-vessel-only PCI (CV-PCI) on in-hospital outcomes in a Chinese population.

Methods: We evaluated STEMI patients with MVD undergoing PCI, registered in the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome (CCC-ACS) project, from November 2014 to December 2019.

Background: More than half of NSTEACS patients are presented with multivessel CAD. Culprit vessel only or complete revascularization (CR) guided either by angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) is available percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) options. This study aims to compare different PCI strategies in NSTEACS patients with multivessel CAD.

Introduction: Recently, the FFR-Guidance for Complete Nonculprit Revascularization (FULL REVASC) trial in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multiple vessel disease (MVD) did not show differences in the composite endpoint of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or unplanned revascularization than culprit-lesion-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 4.8 years, although complete revascularization is a recommendation IA in current guidelines. We want to determine through an updated meta-analysis whether complete revascularization is associated with decreased mortality and hard clinical endpoints compared to culprit lesion only PCI.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary PCI is the go-to treatment for STEMI patients, involving various techniques like balloon angioplasty and stent placements, with differing approaches for those with multivessel disease.
  • A retrospective study of 90 patients assessed the effectiveness and outcomes of different PCI methods, focusing on demographics and clinical profiles.
  • Results showed that successful procedures had lower average values in various health metrics (like age, hypertension, and BMI), indicating potential links between these factors and PCI success rates.
