Outcomes in Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation: Current State-of-the Art and Future Directions.

abstract：:Primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients with STEMI frequently have obstructive non-culprit lesions. In addition, STEMI patients with multivessel disease are at increased risk of major adverse cardiac events. However, current gu...
