Rapid emergency medical services transport to a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable hospital is critical for timely intervention and management of life-threatening arrhythmias in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients. Upon emergency room arrival, immediate transfer to the cath lab is essential to restore perfusion and improve both short- and long-term cardiovascular outcomes, as recommended by clinical guidelines. Interventional cardiologists must also be adept at managing culprit lesions in multivessel disease (MVD) and addressing complications like the no-reflow phenomenon during PCI.
In this interview, Drs. Dipti Itchhaporia and Nabil Farag discuss “What's the Best Time to Revascularize the Non-culprit Lesions in MVD.”
Suggested Materials:
Byrne RA, Rossello X, Coughlan JJ, et al. 2023 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes [published correction appears in Eur Heart J. 2024 Apr 1;45(13):1145. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad870.]. Eur Heart J. 2023;44(38):3720-3826. doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehad191
Mehta SR, Wood DA, Meeks B, et al. Design and rationale of the COMPLETE trial: A randomized, comparative effectiveness study of complete versus culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention to treat multivessel coronary artery disease in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Am Heart J. 2019;215:157-166. doi:10.1016/j.ahj.2019.06.006
