Recruiting NA ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Compares treatment options for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Official title IVUS Versus FFR for Non-infarct Related Artery Lesions in Patients With Multivessel Disease and Acute MI

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05812963

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided treatment decision versus fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided treatment decision for non-infarct related artery stenosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and multivessel disease.
