Multicenter Study Meta AnalysisIs multivessel intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction associated with early harm? Insights from observational data.

Based on observational data, there does not appear to be early harm associated with MVPCI on the index admission in hemodynamically stable STEMI patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
