MULTISTARS AMI: Multivessel immediate versus staged revascularization in STEMI
28 Aug 2023
Aaysha Cader interviews Barbara Elisabeth Stahli on the study design and results that she presented during the ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam.
Immediate multivessel PCI was non-inferior to staged multivessel PCI for reducing death and ischemic events in patients with STEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease.

ECLS-SHOCK: venoarterial membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock
27 Aug 2023
Panos Xaplanteris & Leonidas Koliastasis provide their take on the final results of the ECLS-SHOCK (Extracorporeal Life Support in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock) which were presented by Holger Thiele during the ESC 2023 congress in Amsterdam.

FIRE trial: physiology-guided complete PCI in older MI patients
27 Aug 2023
Luis Ortega-Paz interviews Simone Biscaglia and Gianluca Campo about the FIRE trial.
Results showed elderly patients presenting with either STEMI or NSTEMI benefit from complete revascularization, reducing cardiovascular events risk at 1 year compared to culprit lesion-only PCI.

Impact of alirocumab on plaque regression and haemodynamics of non-culprit arteries in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a prespecified substudy of the PACMAN-AMI trial
12 Jul 2023
This is a trial aiming to assess QFR and 3D-QCA DS% of all the non-infarct related arteries (IRA) with 3D-QCA DS% in all patients presenting with STEMI/NSTEMI and undergoing coronary angiography.

Infarct‐related artery as a donor of collaterals in ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction with concomitant chronic total occlusion: challenge of the double‐jeopardy thesis
30 May 2023
This study challenges the double-jeopardy assumption as the main cause of adverse outcome in STEMI with non-IRA CTO, as a collateral origin distal from the acute IRA occlusion was associated with a significantly better prognosis than with a proximal origin.
