Outcomes of culprit versus multivessel PCI in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by shock.

Abstract

Patients undergoing MVPCI for STEMI-related shock are clinically different than those treated with culprit PCI only; however, after risk adjustment both groups have similar short- and long-term outcomes. Prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal revascularization strategy in this high-risk population.
