Conditions

Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease, Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Keywords

NSTEMI, Multivessel coronary artery disease, culprit-lesion only PCI, multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention

Brief summary

Prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label trial to study whether multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is superior over culprit-lesion only PCI in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Detailed description

The complete revascularization versus culprit lesion only PCI in NSTEMI (COMPLETE-NSTEMI) trial aims to investigate whether multivessel complete PCI is superior over culprit-lesion only PCI in patients with NSTEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease.

Interventions

PROCEDURECulprit-lesion revascularization

Percutaneous coronary intervention of culprit-lesion

PROCEDURENon-culprit-lesion revascularization

Complete percutaneous coronary intervention of all angiographically significant non-culprit lesions
