Complete infarct-related artery revascularization in acute myocardial infarction patients. CORAMI Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There are still limited data on the occurrence of multiple stenotic lesions within the infarct-related artery (IRA) in acute myocardial infarction (MI), and there is no consensus on the optimal treatment of this patient subgroup, which varies between centers and operators.

Aim

To analyse the clinical efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy of culprit lesion only in patients with myocardial infarction.

Material and methods

Patients with acute MI with the presence of at least two significant lesions in the IRA - (1) the target culprit lesion which required immediate stenting (> 50-100% stenosis) and (2) a second distal critical lesion (70-90%) - were included in the registry. Both lesions in the IRA were considered to be independent le
