Complete revascularization optimizes patient outcomes in multivessel coronary artery disease: Data from the e-Ultimaster registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of the coronary revascularization strategy during index admission on clinical outcomes among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD).

Background

The value of complete revascularization (CR) over incomplete revascularization (IR) in MVD patients is not fully established.

Methods

Patients with MVD defined as ≥2 major epicardial vessels with ≥50% stenosis were selected from the observational all-comer e-Ultimaster registry. Patients were treated with a sirolimus-eluting thin-strut coronary stent. Completeness of revascularization was physician assessed at the index procedure or an eventually staged procedure during the index hospitalization. Ou
