Initial experience with multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention during mechanical reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction

Am J Cardiol. 2001 Jul 15;88(2):170-3, A6. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(01)01615-0.

Abstract

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.
