Aims The aim of this work was to investigate the prognostic impact of revascularization of non-culprit Lesions in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease by performing a meta-analysis of available randomized clinical trials (RCTs).Methods and results Data from six RCTs comparing complete vs. culprit-only revascutarization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease were analysed with random effect generic inverse variance method meta-analysis. The endpoints were expressed as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). The primary outcome was cardiovascular death. Main secondary outcomes of interest were alt-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and repeated coronary revascularization. Overall, 6528 patients were included (3139 complete group, 3389 culprit-only group). After a follow-up ranging between 1 and 3 years (median 2 years), cardiovascular death was significantly reduced in the group receiving complete revascularization (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.97, I-2 = 29%). The number needed to treat to prevent one cardiovascular death was 70 (95% CI 36-150). The secondary endpoints MI and revascularization were also significantly reduced (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55-0.84, I-2 = 0% and HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.22-0.38, I-2 = 36%, respectively). Needed to treats were 45 (95% CI 37-55) for MI and 8 (95% CI 5-13) for revascutarization. ALL-cause death (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.56-1.16, I-2 = 27%) was not affected by the revascutarization strategy.Conclusion In a selected study population of STEMI patients with multivessel disease, a complete revascutarization strategy is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular death. This reduction is concomitant with that of MI and the need of repeated revascularization.

Abstract

Aims The aim of this work was to investigate the prognostic impact of revascularization of non-culprit Lesions in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease by performing a meta-analysis of available randomized clinical trials (RCTs).Methods and results Data from six RCTs comparing complete vs. culprit-only revascutarization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease were analysed with random effect generic inverse variance method meta-analysis. The endpoints were expressed as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). The primary outcome was cardiovascular death. Main secondary outcomes of interest were alt-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and repeated coronary revascularization. Overall, 6528 patients were included (3139 complete group, 3389 culprit-only group). After a follow-up ranging between 1 and 3 years (median 2 years), cardiovascular death was significantly reduced in the group receiving complete revascularization (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.97, I-2 = 29%). The number needed to treat to prevent one cardiovascular death was 70 (95% CI 36-150). The secondary endpoints MI and revascularization were also significantly reduced (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55-0.84, I-2 = 0% and HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.22-0.38, I-2 = 36%, respectively).
