Complete vs Culprit-only Revascularization to Treat Multi-vessel Disease After Early PCI for STEMI (COMPLETE)
Acute Myocardial Infarction, Coronary Artery Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Acute Myocardial Infarction focused on measuring STEMI, ticagrelor, multi-vessel disease, culprit lesion
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women within 72 hours after successful PCI (preferably using a drug eluting stent) to the culprit lesion for STEMI. PCI for STEMI can be either primary PCI or rescue PCI for failed fibrinolysis or a combination strategy where PCI is performed routinely 3-12 hours after fibrinolysis AND
Multi-vessel disease defined as at least 1 additional non-infarct related coronary artery lesion that is at least 2.5 mm in diameter that has not been stented as part of the primary PCI and that is amenable to successful treatment with PCI and has:
- At least 70% diameter stenosis (visual estimation) or
- At least 50% diameter stenosis (visual estimation) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) ≤ 0.80
Exclusion Criteria:
- Planned revascularization of non-culprit lesion
- Planned surgical revascularization
- Non-cardiovascular co-morbidity reducing life expectancy to < 5 years
- Any factor precluding 5 year follow-up
- Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery
Sites / Locations
- Hamilton General Hospital

Complete Revascularization Strategy
Optimal Medical Therapy Alone
Complete Revascularization Strategy (Staged Non-Culprit Lesion PCI plus Optimal Medical Therapy): Staged PCI using second generation drug eluting stents (Promus Element Plus drug-eluting stent or newer version in this series is strongly recommended) of all suitable non-culprit lesions. All patients, regardless of randomized treatment allocation will receive optimal medical therapy consisting of risk factor modification and use of evidence-based therapies (including low dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and ticagrelor).
Culprit lesion only Revascularization Strategy (Optimal Medical Therapy Alone): No further revascularization of non-culprit lesions. All patients, regardless of randomized treatment allocation will receive optimal medical therapy consisting of risk factor modification and use of evidence-based therapies (including low dose ASA and ticagrelor).
