Various definitions of post-PCI MI have been recommended by different professional societies and studies. This present study suggests that the troponin-based 3rd universal definition of post-PCI MI has prognostic value for recurrent MI but not mortality alone, unlike the CK-MB based SCAI definition. Absent a consensus on the best definition, clinical trials should report outcomes based on multiple definitions of post-PCI MI.
