Find best timing for stent procedure in NSTEMI with multiple vessel disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares when to do a stent procedure (PCI) in people with NSTEMI who have disease in more than one coronary artery (non-IRA). It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective timing for treatment to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 19 or older.
- Your heart event fits NSTEMI (chest pain/ischemia with abnormal heart blood tests) and does not show certain ECG patterns like ST-elevation.
- You are scheduled for a PCI (stent procedure) within 72 hours of when your symptoms started.
- You have multivessel disease: a non-culprit artery with about 50% narrowing and at least 2.5 mm vessel size, with more than one affected vessel.
- Your study team says the non-culprit (non-IRA) blockage is treatable with PCI and you can use contrast dye safely.
- You agree to the study plan (you or your legal protector can consent).

This trial compares two ways of measuring blood flow inside the heart arteries (IVUS vs FFR) to help decide which non–culprit artery narrowings need a stent after a recent heart attack. It may help doctors choose the best targets for PCI and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study compares doing all heart artery procedures right away versus doing part of them later in people who had a heart attack and have blockage in more than one artery. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after the initial emergency procedure.
This study compares doing the full heart procedure (opening all narrowed arteries) either at the same time as the first procedure or in a second procedure later on. It aims to find out which approach helps people with multiple blocked heart arteries recover better.
This trial studies whether doing a planned, staged treatment for some artery blockages after a heart attack can improve outcomes. It uses detailed images of the heart arteries and compares results in people who are stable after their initial emergency procedure.
This study compares two approaches for people who have had a heart attack with blockages in more than one artery: doing all artery openings at once or doing them in stages. It aims to find which timing is safer and more effective.
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
