NCT01960933

Brief Summary

In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the primary treatment is acute angioplasty of the acute occlusion (culprit lesion). In STEMI patients with multi vessel disease (MVD) no evidence based treatment of the non-culprit lesions exists. We aim to provide evidence as to whether full revascularization or revascularization of the culprit lesion only provides the best prognosis for the patient.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • All cause death, myocardial infarction or revascularization

    Composite of all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or ischemia (either subjective or objective) driven revascularization of non-culprit coronary lesions eligible for and randomized to either of the two treatment arms at the time of the index procedure

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Cardiac death or myocardial infarction

    1 year

  • Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome or acute heart failure

    1 year

  • Angina status and quality of life

    1 year

  • Infarct size in relation to area at risk as determined by MRI

    3 months

  • Cardiac death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularisation or occurrence of definite stent thrombosis (according to ARC definition) of non culprit lesions

    2 years

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Culprit lesion revascularization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Only the culprit lesion is treated whereas other study lesions are left un-treated.

Procedure: Percutaneous coronary intervention

Full revascularization

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Culprit lesion is treated initially and all other lesions with diameter stenosis angiographically \>50% and FFR \<0.80 are treated in a separate procedure within the index hospitalization. Stenoses \> 90% are treated without prior FFR.

Procedure: Percutaneous coronary interventionProcedure: FFR
