Authors' conclusion

Among patients with ACS-CS selected for PCI in a multicenter Japanese registry, management strategies changed substantially over the past decade, particularly regarding MCS utilization. However, no significant temporal improvement in in-hospital mortality was observed, underscoring the persistent clinical challenges of this high-risk PCI-treated population.
