Impact of Different Treatment in Multivessel Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) Patients: One Stage Versus Multistaged Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

Impact of One Stage Compared With Multistaged PCI Complete Revascularization on Clinical Outcome in Multivessel NSTEMI Patients. Smile Trial

Patients with NSTEMI and multivessel disease will be scheduled to undergo early invasive strategy (PCI within 72 hours) of de novo native coronary artery lesions were considered for recruitment into the study. Inclusion criteria are the following: diagnosis of NSTEMI according to current guidelines presenting with multivessel disease. We will exclude patients with cardiogenic shock at presentation (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg despite drug therapy), left main coronary disease (>50% diameter stenosis), previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, patients with Syntax Score >32 and candidated to by-pass surgery (10), severe valvular heart disease and unsuccessful procedures. Procedure success was defined as the achievement of an angiographic residual stenosis of less than 30% and a thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade III after PCI. Patients randomized to One-Stage group were completely revascularizated in one time PCI, whereas patients randomized to Multi-Staged group were completely revascularizated in more time PCI, during the same hospitalization. Patients received a clopidogrel loading dose of 600 mg before the PCI (for loading dose administered more than 6 h prior to procedure). Post-procedural antiplatelet regimen consisted of aspirin at 100 mg/day indefinitely and clopidogrel 75 mg/day for at least one month.

the patient randomized to this arms complete the myocardial revascularization in one stage PCI, the investigators treat all lesions.

the patients randomized to this arms in the first stage the investigators treat only the culprit lesion and in second stage the investigators treat the other vessels

patients randomized to Multi-Staged group were completely revascularizated in more time PCI, during the same hospitalization
