What are the long-term effects of percutaneous coronary intervention of the totally occluded infarct-related artery in the subacute phase after myocardial infarction?
According to the study by Hochman et al. (2011), the long-term effects of percutaneous coronary intervention of the totally occluded infarct-related artery in the subacute phase after myocardial infarction showed improved long-term survival rates and lower rates of major adverse cardiac events. The study concluded that early revascularization of the occluded artery improved clinical outcomes in patients with subacute myocardial infarction.
