Initial experience with multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention during mechanical reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction.
The feasibility and safety of simultaneous multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention during mechanical reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction was analyzed in a retrospective, case-controlled study. Patients who underwent multivessel coronary intervention had a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes through 6 months compared with matched controls in whom coronary intervention was limited to the infarct-related artery.
