Coronary disease & ACS

Timing of Complete Multivessel Revascularization in Patients Presenting With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

JACC Cardiovasc IntervPublished Secondary analysis of the BIOVASC randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

ICR is safe in patients with NSTE-ACS and MVD and was associated with a reduction in MIs and UIDRs at 1 year.

Study context

Population
Patients with NSTE-ACS and multivessel diseaseNSTE-ACS of 1,525 enrolled
Participants
917 patients
Comparison
Immediate vs staged complete revascularization

  • Staged complete revascularization (SCR)n = 458reference
Primary endpoint
Composite of:
  • All-cause mortality
  • Myocardial infarction (MI)
  • Unplanned ischemia-driven revascularization
  • Cerebrovascular events

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Composite of:
  • All-cause mortality
  • MI
  • Unplanned ischemia-driven revascularization (UIDR)
  • Cerebrovascular events
  • Incidences of the primary composite outcome similar in the 2 groups
