Outcome of contemporary unprotected left main percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited data are available on clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with culprit or non-culprit left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI.

Methods

This study aimed to compare treatment pattern and outcome between STEMI and non-STEMI according to culprit and non-culprit LMCA stenosis. We examined 572 patients with LMCA stenosis from the Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health database. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were defined as all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularization, cerebrovascular accident, rehospitalizations, and stent thrombosis.

Results

In patients with culprit LMCA st
