Conditions

Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with multivessel disease (MVD)

Interventions

Complete revascularization group:Complete revascularization with PCI of all angiographically significant nonculprit lesions
Culprit-lesion-only revascularization:Without further revascularization of non-culprit lesions

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Males or females aged >=18 years; 2. Admitted to the hospital with NSTEMI; 3. The patient had a clearly identifiable culprit lesion that had been successfully treated. In NSTEMI patients, identification of the culprit lesion primarily relies on electrocardiography, echocardiography, and conventional coronary angiography. For patients in whom conventional assessment is inconclusive, intravascular imaging (optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound) is recommended to assist in identifying the culprit lesion in centers where conditions permit; 4. Multivessel disease (MVD) was defined as the presence of at least one angiographically significant non-culprit lesion, in addition to the culprit lesion. Significant non-culprit lesions are those that meet both of the following criteria: 1) they are located in a vessel with a diameter of >=2.0 mm that was not stented as part of the index culprit lesion-PCI, and 2) they exhibit a diameter stenosis of >=70% in a single view or >=50% in 2 views on visual estimation; 5. Presence of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is not an exclusion criterion per se, although CTO vessel cannot be the object of randomization. Another eligible non-CTO vessel with a qualifying non-culprit lesion should be present for enrollment; 6. The operator determined that the non-culprit lesion was suitable for PCI; 7. The patient (or legal representative) understood the study requirements and treatment procedures and signed the informed consen;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Hemodynamic instability, cardiogenic shock, or the need for circulatory assistance devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or left ventricular assist device; 2. Severe renal dysfunction (defined as eGFR =30 ml/min/1.73 m² or serum creatinine =2.0 mg/dL) and not undergoing regular dialysis (patients with chronic renal dysfunction and regular dialysis may be considered for inclusion); 3. Sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation; 4. Intolerance to antiplatelet therapy (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor); 5. Previous PCI or CABG, or planned CABG; 6. Co-morbidity with life expectancy less than 12 months; 7. Pregnancy and breast feeding period; 8. Type 2 myocardial infarction, as defined by the Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction; 9. Unable to comply with the study protocol or other circumstances deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in the study; 10. There was a pre-randomization intent to revascularize a non-culprit lesion, irrespective of randomized allocation; 11. Left main disease (>=50% visual diameter stenosis on angiography) or severe tortuosity or calcification of the target vessel;
