We examined 572 patients with LMCA stenosis from the Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry\u2013National Institute of Health database. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were defined as all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularization, cerebrovascular accident, rehospitalizations, and stent thrombosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In patients with culprit LMCA stenosis, cardiogenic shock (50.5% vs. 12.1%;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and use of mechanical hemodynamic support (48.5% vs. 11.0%;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were significantly greater in STEMI than in non-STEMI.

Acute kidney injury, multiple organ failure, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation were independently associated with MACCE in STEMI. In patients with non-culprit LMCA stenosis, there were no significant differences in MACCE between STEMI and non-STEMI (31.3% vs. 34.8%, log-rank\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.530). Concurrent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-culprit LMCA stenosis during PCI for other culprit vessel segments did not improve MACCE in STEMI (29.5% vs. 32.9%; log-rank\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.660).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PCI for culprit LMCA stenosis is challenging in both STEMI and non-STEMI despite appropriate mechanical hemodynamic support.
