What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

MILESTONE STUDY is dedicated to problems connected with patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and/or with left main narrowing who present symptoms of acute ischemia. For such kind of patients according to current ACC/AHA guidelines CABG (surgical revascularization) is recommended as a treatment method. In comparison with CABG, recent studies have shown that PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) is associated with a lower rate of periprocedural adverse events and similar long term event-free survival in patients with left main disease. Our latest non randomized registry and randomized LEMANS study, comparing LMCA (left main coronary artery) stenting with CABG confirmed above findings. LEMANS ACS (acute coronary syndrome) retrospective registry of patients with UPLMCA (unprotected LMCA) disease and non ST elevation ACS showed lower 30 day and trend toward lower one year mort

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects must meet ALL of the inclusion criteria to be considered for the trial. If ANY of the exclusion criteria are met, the subject is excluded from the trial and cannot be randomized. * Age over 18 years, * Written patient consent, * Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST-segment elevation of high, intermediate and low risk, including NSTEMI and unstable angina requiring urgent (within 72 hours) invasive strategy, * Qualification for invasive treatment, * Multivessel coronary disease, defined as angiographic narrowing \>50%DS on investigator's visual assessment in at least two major coronary artery territories (RCA, LAD, LCX), including involvement of the proximal segment of the left anterior descending artery or three-vessel disease with a Syntax Score \< 33. Intermediate lesions (40-70%) will need to be assessed with either FFR, iFR, or VFFR). Patient may have left main coronary artery disease, defined as narrowing \>50%DS (but this is not obligatory). For borderline changes, IVUS (MLA \<6 mm2 or iFR=\<0,90 or FFR=\<0,80, with an anatomic Syntax Score \<33 will be decisive, * Feasibility of complete revascularization on both the CABG and PCI sides, * Consent within the Heart Team for both CABG by the cardiothoracic surgeon and PCI by the interventional cardiologist. Exclusion Criteria: * Age under 18 years, * ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or new left bundle branch block (LBBB), * Stable coronary syndrome, * Single- or two-vessel coronary disease without involvement of the proximal LAD, defined as narrowing above 50%DS, * Qualification for conservative treatment, * Anticipated surgery other than CABG due to severe valvular defect or other structural defect, particularly moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, * Need for immediate coronary angioplasty treatment, * Syntax Score equal or above 33 (\>=33), * Contraindications to short-term and long-term antiplatelet therapy, * Acute heart failure in class IV (cardiogenic shock), * Previous CABG procedure, * Previous PCI procedure within the last 6 months, * Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within 6 months prior to inclusion, * End-stage chronic kidney disease on dialysis, * Pregnancy or intention to become pregnant (women of child bearing age must have a recent negative pregnancy test prior to randomization), * Non cardiac co-morbidities with life expectancy less than 3 years, * Participation in other clinical trial that have not reached their primary endpoint.
