Culprit Lesion Only PCI Versus Multivessel PCI in Cardiogenic Shock (CULPRIT-SHOCK)

November 7, 2017 updated by: Holger Thiele, University of Luebeck

Prospective Randomized Multicenter Study Comparing Immediate Multivessel Revascularization by PCI Versus Culprit Lesion PCI With Staged Non-culprit Lesion Revascularization in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

The study compares the therapies of instant multivessel balloon angioplasty plus stent implantation or the balloon angioplasty plus stent implantation of the infarct artery alone with any possible graduated later treatment of the other vessels in patients with acute myocardial infarction with cardioganic shock.

The main study hypothesis is to explore if culprit vessel only PCI with potentially subsequent staged revascularization in comparison to immediate multivessel revascularization by PCI in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction reduces the incidence of 30- day mortality and/or severe renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Immediate multivessel PCI
After diagnostic angiography the culprit lesion is identified and PCI should be performed using standard techniques. The use of drug-eluting stents is recommended but not mandatory. All additional lesions in other major coronary arteries defined by a diameter >2 mm with high grade stenoses (>70% by visual assessment) should be intervened using standard techniques. Other major coronary arteries are defined by stenoses of other vessels and are not confined to a diagonal branch if the left anterior descending coronary artery was identified as the culprit lesion.
Active Comparator: Culprit lesion only PCI
After diagnostic angiography the culprit lesion is identified and PCI of the culprit lesion should be performed using standard techniques. The use of drug-eluting stents is recommended but not mandatory. All other lesions should be left untreated in the acute setting. Complete revascularization of the non-culprit lesions may be performed at a later time point as staged procedure depending on remaining ischemia (as per guideline recommendations either by PCI or CABG).
