No conclusive data are available to evaluate the advantages of complete coronary revascularization in percutaneous coronary intervention. General objective: Determine whether incomplete revascularization is associated with the incidence of cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted with 192 patients with multivessel coronary disease and no history of coronary revascularization, treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation at the Institute of Cardiology from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2005. Statistical analysis: Relative risk was estimated to determine the association of incomplete revascularization with cardiac events. Results: On analyzing the association of incomplete revascularization with clinical events and cardiac procedures following percutaneous coronary intervention, no relation was obtained. Conclusions: Incomplete coronary revascularization is not associated with a higher incidence of cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention with conventional stent implantation.

Keywords : incomplete coronary revascularization; cardiac events; percutaneous coronary intervention.
