Comparison of FFR-guided PCI vs Angiography-guided PCI in AMI with Multivessel Disease: FRAME-AMI Trial
In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, this study aims to compare fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided PCI with angiography-guided PCI for non-infarct-related artery lesions. The hypothesis is that selective PCI guided by FFR is superior to routin
