This study represents a prespecified subgroup analysis of the COMPLETE randomised trial, a large, international, randomised controlled study comparing a strategy of complete revascularisation with culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD).

This session examines special anatomical scenarios in STEMI patients, focusing on the impact of bifurcation angles, calcium burden, and active side branch protection techniques. Learn from multicentre registry data and comparative analyses of bifurcation stenting strategies tailored to STEMI care.

This single-arm, double-blinded, core-laboratory adjudicated, prospective trial, conducted across four European centers between August 2019 and April 2022, investigates whether CCTA and FFR-CT are able to exclude hemodynamically significant coronary stenoses in patients with high-risk NSTE-ACS.

This registry-based observational study compares surgical and percutaneous revascularization in patients with multivessel disease who underwent treatment for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), utilizing data extracted from the SWEDEHEART registry.

Compared to fluoroscopy guidance, routine use of ultrasound for large-bore transfemoral access in complex PCI did not significantly reduce clinically relevant bleeding or vascular complications. However, it notably improved first-pass puncture success, with a very low crossover rate.

The current subanalysis of the BioVasc trial offers valuable insights into the long-term effects of ICR versus SCR strategies in STEMI patients with MVD. The findings support current guidelines on the necessity of revascularizing non-culprit lesions.
