Stent treatment: fix all blocked arteries vs culprit only
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of doing a stent procedure in people who had an NSTEMI heart attack: fixing all significant blockages versus fixing only the “culprit” blockage. It may help find which approach is safer and more effective for preventing complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an NSTEMI heart attack based on blood test results (high-sensitivity troponin)
- Your heart scan shows blockage in more than one coronary artery (multivessel disease)
- Doctors can clearly identify the specific “culprit” blockage that caused the heart attack
- You are able to give informed consent (or consent has been provided per study rules)
- You have no reason you cannot safely have stent treatment or repeat procedures if needed

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 trial compares different ways to treat serious heart artery blockages in people with a recent heart attack or unstable chest pain. It aims to see which revascularization approach works best when doctors think the heart arteries can be fully treated.
This trial compares two ways doctors decide which additional blocked heart arteries to treat with stents soon after a heart attack. It may help patients avoid later heart problems by testing a “complete revascularization” strategy planned after the initial culprit artery was treated.
This trial compares two ways to treat patients who have had a recent heart attack and have multiple blocked arteries. It tests whether fixing all blockages at once is better than doing it in stages.
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.
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
