Brief summary
To compare FFR guided complete revascularization during the index procedure with usual care in non-STEMI patients with multivessel disease.
Detailed description
Background: Patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (non-STEMI), as compared with STEMI patients, have a higher risk profile, more often MVD and less favourable outcome. Recent studies showed that complete revascularization in STEMI patients is feasible and effective. However, there is no clear evidence regarding the role of complete coronary revascularization by PCI in patients with non-STEMI with MVD. Objective: To compare FFR guided complete revascularization during the index procedure with usual care in non-STEMI patients with multivessel disease. Design: Prospective, multicentre, 1:1 randomized, investigator initiated study. Hypothesis: FFR guided complete percutaneous revascularisation of all significant stenosis in the non-culprit lesion performed within the index PCI procedure will improve clinical outcomes compared to the usual care, guided by discretion of the physician.
Interventions
PROCEDUREIschemia driven revascularization
In the ischemia driven complete revascularisation strategy group all flow limiting (FFR ≤ 0.80) lesions will receive treatment by PCI and stenting during the index intervention
OTHERUsual care group
In the randomised to usual care group the procedure will stop after the PCI of the culprit artery and the patient will be referred to his treating cardiologist and/ or heart team who will decide whether a staged PCI of the non- IRA artery should take place. If the treating cardiologist (after advise of the heart team) decides to perform the non-IRA PCI revascularisation, than such treatment should take place within six weeks from the primary PCI in order to count as a scheduled staged PCI procedure.

Inclusion criteria
* Patients aged between 18-85 years presenting with non-STEMI according to current guidelines, who will be treated with PCI of the culprit and have at least one stenosis of \>50% in a non-IRA on QCA or visual estimation of baseline angiography and judged feasible for treatment with PCI by the operator. * Non-IRA stenosis amenable for PCI treatment (operator's decision) * Signed informed consent
Exclusion criteria
* Left main disease (stenosis \> 50%) * Chronic total occlusion of a non-IRA * Indication for or previous coronary artery bypass grafting * Uncertain culprit lesion * Complicated IRA treatment, e.g. extravasation, permanent no re-flow after IRA treatment (TIMI flow 0-1) and inability to implant a stent * Known severe cardiac valve dysfunction that will require surgery or TAVI in the follow-up period. * Killip class III or IV during the completion of culprit lesion treatment. * Life expectancy of \< 1 year. * Intolerance to Aspirin, Clopidogrel, Prasugrel, Ticagrelor or Heparin. * Gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding within the prior 3 months. * Planned elective surgical procedure necessitating interruption of thienopyridines during the first 6 months post enrolment. * Patients who are actively participating in another drug or device investigational study, which have not completed the primary endpoint follow-up period. * Pregnancy

| The incidence of MACE in subgroups at 12 and 24 months. | 12 and 24 months | Prespecified subgroup analyses of primary outcomes will be performed for: 1. Diabetic patients versus non-diabetic patients 2. Elderly (≥ 75 years) versus young patients (\< 75 years) 3. Male versus Female gender 4. High versus low risk patients according to GRACE Risk Score 5. Patients previous myocardial infarction versus patients with no previous myocardial infarction The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score estimates the admission 6 month mortality for patients with acute coronary syndrome. The GRACE score ranges from 0 to \> 285. A higher GRACE represents a higher mortality risk, ranging from 0-2% when the GRACE is between 0 and 87, to 99% when the GRACE exceeds 285. |
