Functional coronary angiography to indicate and guide revascularization in STEMI patients with multivessel disease: Rationale and design of the AIR-STEMI trial

Am Heart JPublished prospective, randomized, international, multicenter, open-label study with blinded adjudicated evaluation of outcomes

Study context

Population
Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease, after successful treatment of the culprit lesionplanned sample size (minimum)
Participants
1,800 patients
Planned comparison
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the nonculprit lesions guided by conventional angiography or by angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR)
Primary endpoint
Composite of:
  • All-cause death
  • Any myocardial infarction (MI)
  • Any cerebrovascular accident
  • Any revascularization
Follow-up
censored once the last enrolled patient reaches 1-year follow-up
Methodological detailsrationale and design
  • Rationale and design

No results yet. This paper sets out the design of a trial; its results are to come.

Further findings

Secondary endpoint: composite of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction (MI) and each single component of the primary endpoint

Planned; no results reported
