CULPRIT-SHOCK

PCI strategies in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock - New England Journal of Medicine. 2017

Brief Summary:

In patients with acute MI complicated by cardiogenic shock found to have multivessel CAD on coronary angiography, culprit-only PCI is associated with 9.5% absolute reduction in the rate of death or renal replacement therapy at 30 days. This was driven primarily by a 7.3% absolute reduction in all-cause mortality with culprit-lesion only PCI.
