About this trial

The study aims to compare a preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) strategy vs. OMT for treatment of non-functionally significant non-culprit lesions presenting with optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings indicative of vulnerable plaque, in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients > 18 years.

Successful revascularization of the culprit lesion in patients undergoing coronary angiography due to ST-segment elevation (> 1mm in > 2 contiguous leads, new left bundle branch block, or true posterior MI with ST depression of >1mm in >2 contiguous anterior leads) in the first 72 hours of the symptom's onset.

Multivessel coronary disease with non-culprit lesions located in different vessels than the culprit lesion and ranging from 40 to 69% of DS (visual estimated diameter stenosis ) by visual estimate planned for FFR-guided revascularization in staged procedure (>24 hours and <60 days after PCI of the culprit lesion).

Non-culprit lesions should be suitable for functional assessment with pressure wire and OCT catheter and should be suitable to be treated with a single 2.0 to 4.5 mm EES (everolimus-eluting stent ).

Disqualifiers

Inability to provide informed consent.

Female of childbearing potential (age <50 years and last menstruation within the last 12 months), who did not undergo tubal ligation, ovariectomy or hysterectomy.

Known intolerance to aspirin, heparin, everolimus, contrast material.

Unresolved mechanical complication or cardiogenic shock at the staged procedure.
