Abstract:Background
Even in experienced angioplasty centers, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the acute setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) is associated with a low, but still significant rate of suboptimal coronary flow. Identification of its clinical impact and potential modifiable risk factors is important.
Purpose
To evaluate the clinical impact of suboptimal coronary flow after PCI in STEMI patients … Show more
