Percutaneous vs. Surgical Revascularization of Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Multivessel Disease: The SWEDEHEART Registry

March 6, 2025 | Mateo Marin-Cuartas

The debate continues over long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel disease. This study, based on the SWEDEHEART registry,...

Complete Revascularization with Multivessel PCI for Myocardial Infarction

October 19, 2019 | Aristotle ProtopapasGold Commentor

Quite interesting to see that the incidence of revascularisation after multivessel PCA (the additional element on the second co-primary outcome) appears to have occured in more than 1% of the...
