TCT-509 Fractional flow reserve-guided complete revascularization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease compared to culprit-only revascularization: A meta-analysis

Background Angiographic guidance has been used as the standard method to perform percutaneous complete revascularization (e.g. incomplete revascularization vs. complete revascularization) in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multivessel disease (MVD). Conclusion Compared to cu...

Description
Summary:Background Angiographic guidance has been used as the standard method to perform percutaneous complete revascularization (e.g. incomplete revascularization vs. complete revascularization) in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multivessel disease (MVD). Conclusion Compared to culprit-only revascularization, treating multivessel disease in STEMI patients using FFR guidance is associated with decreased incidence of MACE, due to a decreased rate of revascularization.
