Revascularization following non-ST elevation myocardial infarction in multivessel coronary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal revascularization approach for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) is controversial. We sought to investigate outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Methods

Adult patients with MVCAD and NSTEMI undergoing either CABG or PCI at a single institution between 2011 and 2018 were included. Multivariable analysis was utilized to determine independent predictors of death, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and readmissions. A subanalysis examined patients undergoing complete revascularization.

Results

A total of 2001 patients were included, of whom 1480 (74.0%) underwent CABG. CABG
