Yarr mateys, in the heart o' those with a STEMI and many a blocked passage, guidin' the way with FFR for all the vessels didn't make a difference in the FULL-REVASC quest! Stickin' to fixin' just the main culprit be as good as plunderin' all the treasures! Aye, the Medscape News be tellin' us so! Arrr!
In the latest news from the high seas of medicine, it seems that in patients with the dreaded STEMI and multivessel disease, the wise old FFR-guided complete nonculprit revascularization may not be the treasure we were hoping for. The FULL-REVASC trial has revealed that this fancy-sounding treatment did not actually reduce events when compared to the good old culprit lesion-only PCI.Arrr, me hearties, it seems that the scallywags behind this trial have left us scratching our heads and wondering if all that extra effort is worth the trouble. We may have been sailing in the wrong direction all along, thinking we were on the right course to better outcomes.
But fear not, me fellow pirates of the medical world, for this be just one trial among many, and there be plenty more booty to plunder in the vast sea of cardiac interventions. Let us not lose hope, for there be always more treasure to be found in the ever-changing tides of research.
