Introduc.on. A growing amount of evidence suggests that MASLD may independently increase the risk of coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome, thus necessita.ng revasculariza.on interven.ons like percutaneous coronary interven.on (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graFing (CABG) [2,3]. However, a limited number of studies have evaluated the impact of MASLD on the outcomes of these interven.ons.Methods. A comprehensive search of the PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase databases was conducted to iden.fy relevant studies from August 2015 to August 2025 using a combina.on of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and text words related to MASLD and cardiovascular revasculariza.on.Results. Two hundred nineteen papers from the PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase databases were reviewed. Six met the inclusion criteria (Figure 1). Five studies covered PCI, and one covered CABG. Supplemental informa.on was added using targeted PubMed/MEDLINE searches.Conclusions. MASLD may pose an increased risk of in-hospital and long-term mortality following PCI. Risks for cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, in-stent thrombosis, gastrointes.nal bleeding, or invasive mechanical ven.la.on following PCI may also be increased. Further studies are needed to determine the op.mal coronary revasculariza.on method and post-revasculariza.on medical therapy for pa.ents with MASLD.
