Multicenter Study Observational StudyRelationship between infarct artery location, acute total coronary occlusion, and mortality in STEMI and NSTEMI patients.
The prevalence of total coronary occlusion of an infarct‑related artery (IRA) and its impact on the outcome can differ between patients with non‑ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and those with ST‑segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ Totally occluded IRA (TIMI flow grade 0) on baseline angiogram was not associated with higher 36‑month mortality rates after both NSTEMI and STEMI treated with PCI in comparison with patients with patent IRA except for totally occluded LAD in STEMI.
