Abstract
Occurrence of myonecrosis can be documented after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Data have correlated this phenomenon with late mortality, and with diffuse atherosclerotic disease. While controversy still exists, the potential for improved mortality after PCI should be fully explored in a systematic way.
