Management of complex non-culprit multivessel disease after STEMI - LIVE case

16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Analyze the case of a 69-year-old non-diabetic male patient with mild chronic kidney disease, acute inferior MI and primary PCI on the postero-lateral RCA, whose angiography showed diffuse disease on the proximal CX and second OM (QFR: 0.65), and an intermediate prox LAD lesion (QFR: 0.90).
