Long-Term Outcomes in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Versus Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

CONCLUSIONS: Early CABG was performed in only a minority of STEMI patients. This high-risk patient population demonstrated worse outcomes compared to patients undergoing PCI. Performing surgery beyond 72 hours following admission may be associated with lower risk. PMID: 32558440 [PubMed - in process]
