Overview
Prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label trial to study whether multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is superior over culprit-lesion only PCI in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease.
Description
The complete revascularization versus culprit lesion only PCI in NSTEMI (COMPLETE-NSTEMI) trial aims to investigate whether multivessel complete PCI is superior over culprit-lesion only PCI in patients with NSTEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease.

- Informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age <18 years
- Cardiogenic shock
- Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF)
- Contraindication for coronary revascularization
- Prior coronary artery bypass graft
- Indication for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
