What is the impact of multivessel disease on reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction?
Studies have shown that multivessel disease can have a significant impact on reperfusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction. For example, a study by Sorajja et al. (2007) found that patients with multivessel disease were more likely to have a higher degree of reperfusion failure and poorer clinical outcomes. Additionally, Park et al. (2014) found that multivessel disease was associated with an increased risk of mortality and reinfarction. Thus, it is important to consider the impact of multivessel disease when evaluating the potential benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention in these patients.
