Background: The effectiveness of complete revascularization is well established in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but it is less investigated in those with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Objectives: This study aimed to assess whether complete revascularization, compared with culprit-only revascularization, was associated with consistent outcomes in older patients with STEMI and NSTEMI.

Methods: In the FIRE (Functional Assessment in Elderly MI Patients with Multivessel Disease) trial, 1,445 older patients with myocardial infarction (MI) were randomized to culprit-only or physiology-guided complete revascularization, stratified by STEMI (n = 256 culprit-only vs n = 253 complete) and NSTEMI (n = 469 culprit-only vs n = 467 complete).

Background: The FIRE trial (Functional Assessment in Elderly Myocardial Infarction Patients With Multivessel Disease) enrolled 1445 older (aged ≥75 years) patients with myocardial infarction and multivessel disease in Italy, Spain, and Poland. Patients were randomized to physiology-guided complete revascularization or treatment of the only culprit lesion. Physiology-guided complete revascularization significantly reduced ischemic adverse events at 1 year.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) following a myocardial infarction (MI) face poor outcomes, and it's uncertain if they benefit from complete revascularization.
  • The study aimed to compare the outcomes of physiology-guided complete revascularization versus a culprit-only strategy for HBR patients with MI and multivessel disease.
  • Results showed that HBR patients had a higher risk of complications, but those who underwent complete revascularization experienced significantly better outcomes, reducing primary endpoint events.

Aims: The present analysis from the Functional Assessment in Elderly Myocardial Infarction Patients with Multivessel Disease (FIRE) trial aims to explore the significance of pre-admission physical activity and assess whether the benefits of physiology-guided complete revascularization apply consistently to sedentary and active older patients.

Methods And Results: Patients aged 75 years or more with myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel disease were randomized to receive physiology-guided complete revascularization or culprit-only strategy. The primary outcome was a composite of death, MI, stroke, or any revascularization within a year.

Article Synopsis
  • The resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS) is being studied for its safety and long-term effectiveness in patients undergoing bioresorbable scaffold implantation, amid conflicting results from earlier research.
  • In a multicenter study in Italy, 543 patients were followed for a minimum of one year, with strict criteria for patient selection and RMS implantation techniques.
  • Results showed a low occurrence of serious complications at one year, with 3.5% of patients experiencing major adverse events, suggesting that RMS is a safe option that could lead to renewed interest in scaffold technology if further confirmed by randomized trials.
