Complete Versus Culprit-Only Revascularization Strategies to Treat Multivessel Disease After Early PCI for STEMI
(WorldNews Health)

Contribution To Literature: The COMPLETE trial showed that complete revascularization was superior to culprit-only revascularization at reducing death or MI. Description: The goal of the trial was to evaluate a complete revascularization strategy compared with a culprit-only revascularization strategy among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary disease. Study Design Randomized Parallel Stratified Patients with STEMI and multivessel coronary disease were randomized to complete revascularization (n = 2,016) versus culprit-only revascularization (n = 2,025). Patients randomized to complete revascularization underwent staged percutaneous...
