Author: Hyeon-Cheol Gwon Cardiac and Vascular Center Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine
OBJECTIVE
- The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognosis of peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) in rather homogenous clinical and lesion subset
- No myocardial infarction
- Coronary bifurcation lesion treated with drug-eluting stent
CONCLUSION
- Peri-procedural MI may not be a significant independent prognostic factor of cardiac death and MACE after coronary bifurcation stenting using contemporary intervention strategies.
- The larger studies are required to confirm this findings.
