Optimal Strategy for Complete Revascularization in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Multivessel Disease: A Network Meta-Analysis

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a comprehensive network meta-analysis published in JACC, which evaluates the optimal strategy for complete revascularization in patients with STEMI and multi-vessel disease. The study concludes that both immediate and staged complete revascularization improve patient outcomes over partial revascularization, with no significant advantage between angiographic and functional guidance, suggesting that angiographic guidance alone may be sufficient in clinical practice.
