Why the study?

Elevated BNP is linked to poorer outcomes in ACS, and the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of multivessel versus single-vessel PCI in this specific high-risk subgroup remained to be compared.

Does multivessel PCI improve in-hospital and long-term outcomes compared to single-vessel PCI in patients with ACS and elevated BNP levels?

Overview

Individualized revascularization remains preferred in ACS with elevated BNP; leaves open optimal mPCI versus sPCI strategy pending RCTs.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of multivessel versus single-vessel percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome and elevated BNP levels.
  • Utilized data from a large institutional PCI registry.
  • Compared in-hospital and long-term outcomes between multivessel PCI and single-vessel PCI in patients with elevated BNP levels.
  • Both multivessel PCI and single-vessel PCI showed similar mortality and complication rates.
  • In-hospital outcomes were consistent across both PCI approaches in patients with elevated BNP.
