Abstract
Objective: To identify the complications presented by patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), submitted to different methods of cardiac revascularization as a therapeutic option. Methods: This is a systematic review using indexers in the electronic databases Virtual Health Library (VHL), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and Web of Science. In addition, the kappa coefficient (k) and the Jadad scale were calculated. Results: During the research, 16 articles were selected. It was observed that the main methods used were Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (IPC) and Myocardial Revascularization Surgery (CABG). Regarding the complications observed, it was found that AMI was the most prevalent complication, followed by stroke, hemorrhagic events, postoperative death and cardiac death. Final Considerations: Finally, we identified the complications presented by Post-Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients, submitted to different revascularization methods, presenting as atrial fibrillation, sudden death, ventricular dysrhythmias, heart failure, infectious processes and infarction myocardial infarction, in addition to stroke and hemorrhagic events followed by postoperative death. Therefore, new techniques are essential, achieving adequate treatment.
