Benefits of complete revascularization in elderly patients

The benefit of complete revascularization in older patients (≥75 years) with myocardial infarction and multivessel disease is still unclear. At the ESC Congress, however, the results of the FIRE study were presented, in which physiologically guided complete revascularization was compared with revascularization aimed only at correcting the cause of the STEMI in older patients [1,2].
