Immediate Versus Staged Complete Revascularization for Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Multivessel Disease: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Abstract

Among patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease, an immediate nonculprit PCI approach was associated with similar clinical outcomes to the staged nonculprit PCI approach. The staged out-of-hospital nonculprit PCI approach was associated with a higher incidence of MACEs compared with the other strategies, which was driven by higher risk for ischemia-driven repeat revascularization.
