NCT01159366

Brief Summary

It is assumed that patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI) showing an infero- or posterolateral occluded culprit artery (OCA) during diagnostic angiography frequently elude standard 12-lead electrocardiogram diagnosis. In addition, coronary collaterals may have beneficial effects in patients with OCA.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • MACE

    composite of death, reinfarction and readmission for unstable angina within 6 months after inclusion

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • CK and CK-MB

    48 hours

Study Arms (2)

occluded culprit artery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

An occluded lesion was defined as a lesion with 100% stenosis or TIMI-flow grade 0 or 1.

Procedure: percutaneous coronary intervention

non-occluded culprit artery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A non-occluded lesion was defined as a lesion without 100% stenosis or TIMI-flow grade 0 or 1.

Procedure: percutaneous coronary intervention
