Effect of Timing of Staged Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes.

ABSTRACT: Background Complete revascularization reduces cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) and multivessel disease. The optimal time point of non-target-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of early (<4 weeks) versus late (≥4 weeks) staged PCI of non-target-vessels in patients with ACS scheduled for staged PCI after hospital discharge. Methods and Results All patients with ACS undergoing planned staged PCI from 2009 to 2017 at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland, were analyzed. Patients with cardiogenic shock, in-hospital staged PCI, staged cardiac surgery, and multiple staged PCIs were excluded. The primary end point was all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction an
