Revascularization StrategIes for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Trial (ASSIST-MI)
ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Coronary Stenting, Primary Angioplasty
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- ST elevation myocardial infarction evidenced by new ST elevation at the J point in at least 2 contiguous leads of ≥ 2 mm (0.2mV) in men or ≥ 1.5mm (0.15mV) in women in leads V2-V3 and/or ≥ 1mm (0.1mV) in other contiguous chest leads or limb leads.
- MVD as evidenced by > one significant (>70% by visual assessment or FFR < 0.80 for 50-70% stenosis) stenosis in the non-IRA >2mm in diameter.
- Successful IRA-PCI with <30% residual angiographic stenosis and TIMI III flow
- Written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age ≤ 18 years
- Prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
- Administration of thrombolytic therapy.
- Hemodynamic instability as evidenced by SBP<90 mmHg, Killip class ≥3, and/or need for inotropes/vasopressors.
- Known renal insufficiency (estimated GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m2)
- Non-IRA stenosis is a chronic total occlusion (CTO)
- Plan by treating physician to treat non-IRA stenosis with coronary artery bypass surgery

Staged non-IRA PCI
After treatment of the IRA, subjects will undergo PCI of all suitable significant non-IRA lesions (≥70% by visual assessment or FFR<0.80 in 50-70% lesions with vessel diameter >2mm).
Only the IRA will be intervened upon during the index primary PCI procedure. Staging of the non-IRA lesions will be performed 48 hours to 45 days after the primary PCI procedure. All suitable non-IRA lesions (≥70% by visual assessment or FFR<0.80 in 50-70% lesions with vessel diameter >2mm) will be treated with PCI irrespective of whether there are clinical symptoms or evidence of ischemia.
