A riddle of culprit only vs multivessel or immediate vs staged revascularization in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a revolutionary breakthrough in saving many lives from myocardial infarction. However, little is known about the PCI strategy in multivessel disease (MVD) Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients. Should complete revascularization be achieved or culprit-only is sufficient, then when the appropriate time of multivessel revascularization is, whether it is staged or immediate. Limited evidence is available on this matter compared to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), even though NSTE-ACS patients carry poorer long-term prognoses compared to STEMI.

Methods

A thorough search for appropriate studies was executed across PubMed, Embase, Medline, Science Direct, and Scopus databases until July 4th, 20
