Left Anterior Descending Nonculprit Lesions and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

In the COMPLETE (Complete vs Culprit-Only Revascularization to Treat Multi-Vessel Disease After Early PCI for STEMI) trial, complete revascularization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD) reduced important outcomes compared with culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention. Whether clinical outcomes in STEMI patients with MVD are influenced by the presence of a left anterior descending (LAD) nonculprit lesion (NCL) remains unknown.
