Abstract EN

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is actually the most used method of revascularization.

Although complete revascularization remains a desirable goal, it may not be possible or not easy to plan in many patients.

Thus, incomplete revascularization might be a preferred treatment strategy in selected patient categories.

Stress myocardial scintigraphy, because of its high diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value and its ability to assess location and extent of myocardial ischemia regardless of symptoms as well as to evaluate patients who are unable to exercise or who have uninterpretable electrocardiogram, is of paramount importance for clinical decision making in patients with multivessel disease and incomplete revascularization.
