Functional coronary angiography in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Presenting authorSimone BiscagliaInterventional / Structural Cardiology · University of FerraraSimone Biscaglia is an Interventional Cardiologist at Ferrara University Hospital and Associate Professor of Cardiology at the University of Ferrara in Italy. He coordinates clinical studies on coronary interventions, intracoronary physiology, imaging, and acute coronary syndromes, including trials such as FIRE and HAWKEYE. His publications include work in The Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine on topics like machine learning prediction of events post-ACS and PCI strategies in older MI patients.
Overview
STEMI management unchanged pending results; leaves open whether functional coronary angiography refines acute decisions.
Key result
Functional coronary angiography in ST-elevation myocardial infarction has pending results from a late-breaking trial at ESC Congress 2026.
Discussion
Expert reaction lands here the moment AIR-STEMI reports.
Key Points
- The trial investigates functional coronary angiography during ST-elevation myocardial infarction to assess coronary artery physiology.
- Clinical trial evaluation assesses whether functional coronary angiography improves standard management of acute myocardial infarction.
- Late-breaking trial presented at ESC Congress 2026 tests functional coronary angiography protocols, with definitive results currently pending.
Main Result
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
