Timing of additional stent procedures after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is looking at the best time to treat other narrowed arteries in people who had a heart attack and already had the main blockage opened. It compares doing the additional procedures during the same session versus waiting a few days or weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You had a heart attack with ST elevation (a specific pattern on an ECG).
- You received a procedure to open the blocked artery (primary PCI) within 12 hours of symptoms.
- You have at least one other narrowed artery that could be treated with a stent.
- You do not have cardiogenic shock, a complete blockage in another artery, or other exclusions like severe asthma or an allergy to contrast dye.

This trial looks at the best time to perform a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) in people who have a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and also develop worsening heart failure symptoms. The goal is to find out if doing the procedure early or later leads to better outcomes.
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 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 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 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 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.
