Summary

The current guidelines still recommend emergent PCI of the culprit lesion and state that primary PCI should be limited to the culprit vessel with the exception of cardiogenic shock and persistent ischaemia after PCI of the supposed culprit lesion. This recommendation is based on a high number of studies. However, several studies are present about the safety and efficacy of non-culprit vessel PCI during acute MI. Nowadays, the debate is increasingly going on about the PCI of the non-culprit arteries during the index event with newer prospective randomized studies. Besides, it is still unclear for the culprit artery whether to treat only the culprit lesion or all the other lesions in the culprit vessel during the index event. The present report describes a retrospective comparison between the two strategies during primary PCI for STEMI, looking for their influence on the clinical and angiographic course of the patients.
