Percutaneous Intervention in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Culprit-only or Complete Revascularization?

Abstract: The best approach of multivessel coronary artery disease in the context of acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation and primary percutaneous coronary intervention is one of the main reasons for controversy in cardiology. Although the main global guidelines do not recommend routine complete revascularization in these patients, recent randomized clinical trials have demonstrated benefit of this approach in reducing cardiovascular outcomes. For this reason, an adequate review of this evidence is esse… Show more

“…Primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) is the major therapy for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the age of revascularization. This conclusion is supported by decreased rates of recurrent ischemia or infarction and high success rates in restoring antegrade blood flow in the infracted artery (IRA) [1] .…”

“…A deflated balloon catheter is advanced into an obstructed artery via the saphenous or radial artery. Inflation of the balloon reverses the narrowing of the blood vessel ( Osorio et al, 2017 ). Alternatively, stents are placed in the narrowed artery to ensure blood vessels remain dilated.…”

“…1 With acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is currently considered the treatment of choice. 2 While its benefits remain undeniable, its appropriate use remains a contentious issue. The occurrence of cardiogenic shock (CS) is about 5-10% among acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs), a situation related to high in-hospital mortality.…”
