Impact of complete versus culprit-only revascularization on major adverse cardiovascular event in diverse subpopulations.

ABSTRACT: Background: Myocardial infarction management relies on pharmaceuticals and interventions like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While complete PCI has shown noninferiority to culprit-only PCI, its impact on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) outcomes in multiple subpopulations has been unknown.Methods: A systematic literature search (from January 2000 to May 2024) identified four relevant randomized controlled trials involving ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. Data analysis employed a random-effects model with inverse variance weighting.Results: MACE risk was significantly lower in males than females undergoing complete PCI compared with culprit-only PCI (hazard ratio: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.39-0.68; p < 0.01; I2 = 53%).
