Prognostic impact of a chronic total occlusion in a non-infarct-related artery in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: 3-year results from the HORIZONS-AMI trial

Abstract

In patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI in the HORIZONS-AMI trial, MVD with or without a CTO in a non-IRA was an independent predictor of early mortality. The presence of a CTO in a non-IRA was also an independent predictor of increased late mortality to 3 years.
