In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Most heart attacks occur because a clot forms in a coronary artery blocking blood flow. Without blood heart muscle dies. Untreated, clots can cause a specific type of heart attack -ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). STEMI patients are treated immediately by finding the blocked artery ("culprit" lesion) using a dye injected into the coronary arteries and then by unblocking the artery using balloons and stents. This procedure - primary angioplasty - is offered 24/7 and limits the size of heart attacks and saves lives. Cardiologists know how to treat STEMI patients but it's less clear what to do about narrowings in other coronary arteries ("bystander" disease). This is important - if they're left alone some bystander lesions can cause future events including heart attacks or angina. Recent trials compared stenting ALL the bystander narrowings after primary angioplasty, with stenti
