Multivessel PCI reduces combined MI, revascularization and mortality in NSTE-ACS
This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
Multivessel coronary artery disease is detrimental to outcome in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS; unstable angina or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [MI]). Whether intervention on stable chronic nonculprit lesions reduces cardiovascular events in these patients, and whether multivessel stenting has adverse effects, is unclear. An observational study of patients with coronary artery disease and NSTE-ACS who underwent multivessel or culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) shows that multivessel intervention results in a lower incidence of the composite end point of death, MI, or revascularization.
