Introduction • Current guidelines recommend an early invasive strategy in high risk NSTE-ACS • The precise timing of early PCI is controversial. • Immediate PCI may prevent (spontaneous) cardiac events • Deferred PCI may lead to less peri-procedural complications
OPTIMA trial • Optimal timing of PCI in unstable angina • To compare immediate with 24–48 hours deferred PCI in the early invasive management of NSTE-ACS • Hypothesis: In high risk NSTE-ACS immediate PCI reduces cardiac events
Patients • Patientswith high risk NSTE-ACS • No indicationfor urgent PCI • Immediatecoronaryangiography • Culpritlesionamenablefor PCI
Randomized treatments • Randomization in cathlab after angiography • Immediate PCI • PCI of culprit lesion in same session • Deferred PCI • PCI of culprit lesion after repeat angiography 24-48 hours later • Triple antiplatelet therapy • Abciximab, clopidogrel and aspirin
Infarct size during initial hospitalization peak CKMB: P<0.01 % CKMB (median): 9.8 4.9 (ng/L)
Conclusions • Immediate PCI increased the rate of periprocedural MI compared to a cooling down strategy of deferred PCI • The results of the study suggest that there is no need to rush to PCI in non-refractory high risk NSTE-ACS patients
