To determine whether, on a background of optimal medical therapy, including ticagrelor, opening of all suitable narrowings or blockages found at the time of primary PCI for an acute heart attack is better than treating only the culprit lesion in patients with multi-vessel disease.
To determine if a strategy of multivessel revascularization involving PCI of all suitable non-infarct related artery lesions plus optimal medical therapy is superior to a strategy of optimal medical therapy alone in reducing (1) the composite outcome of cardiovascular (CV) death or new myocardial infarction (MI), or (2) the composite of CV death, new MI or ischemia driven revascularization (IDR) in patients with multivessel disease who have undergone early successful culprit lesion PCI for STEMI.
