Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of multivessel disease on reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Patients with extensive CAD in vessels remote from the infarct-related artery have reduced reperfusion success and an adverse prognosis following primary PCI in AMI and future studies regarding the optimal treatment of patients with multivessel disease and AMI are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective, multicenter study of the safety and feasibility of primary stenting in acute myocardial infarction : In-hospital and 30-day results of the PAMI stent pilot trial

TL;DR: In this paper, the safety and feasibility of a routine stent strategy in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was examined, and the authors concluded that primary stent may further improve short and long-term outcomes after mechanical reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and Angiographic Follow-Up After Primary Stenting in Acute Myocardial Infarction The Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) Stent Pilot Trial

TL;DR: A strategy of routine stent implantation during mechanical reperfusion of AMI is safe and is associated with favorable event-free survival and low rates of restenosis compared with primary PTCA alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined prognostic utility of ST-segment recovery and myocardial blush after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Both measures of reperfusion success strongly correlate with survival and assessment of both yields incremental prognostic information beyond either measure alone, although ΣSTR is the stronger prognostic variable.
