What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating whether performing percutaneous coronary intervention PCI on all significant blockages in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction NSTEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease is better than treating only the main culprit lesion. This open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial aims to compare these two approaches to understand which provides better outcomes for patients with this heart condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive optimal medical therapy and PCI only on the culprit lesion, with no further intervention on other blockages unless certain emergency criteria occur. The other group will receive complete revascularization of all significant non-culprit lesions, either during the initial procedure, hospitalization, or within 45 days after the initial PCI. During the study, participants will be followed for an average of two years to monitor outcomes including cardiovascular death, rehospitalization for heart attacks, and other heart-related events. Researchers will also assess quality of life and complications such as bleeding, stroke, and kidney injury at various time points. The study involves regular evaluations and aims to gather comprehensive data to determine the best treatment strategy for these patients.
