Multicenter Study Comparative StudyPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and cardiogenic shock: the role of primary multivessel revascularization.
This study sought to assess the impact of multivessel (MV) primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting with cardiogenic shock (CS) and resuscitated cardiac arrest (CA). ⋯ The results of this study suggest that in STEMI patients with MVD presenting with CS and CA, MV primary PCI may improve clinical outcome. Randomized trials are required to verify these results.
