Total Versus Culprit Artery Revascularization in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary PCI.

Abstract

Background: Cases with STEMI may present with multivessel disease in forty 
percent to sixty-five percent of the patients. Guidelines guide earlier reopening of 
the Infarct-Related Artery ( IRA) by primary PCI, but plaque's instability may 
develop in many forms leading to many unstable coronary plaques in anatomically 
far sites. 
Objective: to compare 30 days follow-up of complete revascularization Vs. 
Culprit only in STEMI patients who underwent primaryPCI regarding MACE.
