Abstract(s)

This study makes an important contribution to responding to issues in the field. Significant non-culprit lesions should undergo revascularization because it can reduce recurrent cardiovascular events compared to the culprit-vessel-only PCI strategy. Second, there are no significant differences in clinical endpoint between it being conducted at index hospital admission or after discharge. They observed a reduction of up to two days in hospital stay in the delayed CR group when compared with the in-hospital CR group; in-hospital CR was an independent predictor of a longer hospital stay. Thus, in view of the recurrent lack of hospital beds in cardiology services, reducing the length of hospital stay in a safe way for patients and postponing revascularization of non-culprit patients after discharge could improve service management and cardiovascular care.
