Key Points Despite current guidelines, there is expanding evidence for the safety and efficacy of routine multivessel PCI for STEMI patients. FFR has incremental value for assessing stenosis severity in STEMI patients with multivessel disease. Further studies of vulnerable plaque are needed to obtain a complete risk assessment in STEMI patients.
