Scientific titleInvasive versus Conservative Treatment in Unstable coronary Syndromes
Study acronymICTUS
Study objectivesAn early invasive strategy is superior to a selectively invasive strategy for patients who have acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation and with an elevated cardiac troponin T level.
Ethics approval(s)Received from local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAcute coronary syndrome
InterventionAgainst a background of optimized medical therapy patients are randomized between an early invasive strategy or a selective invasive strategy.

The early invasive strategy includes angiography within 24 to 48 hours after randomization and revascularization when appropriate.

The selective invasive strategy includes medical stabilization, with angiography and revascularization only in case of refractory angina or significant ischemia on the pre-discharge exercise test.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureWithin one year after randomisation, a composite of:
1. Death
2. Non-fatal myocardial infarction
3. Rehospitalization for anginal symptoms
Secondary outcome measures1. The occurrence of the components of the primary endpoint
2. The occurrence of death or myocardial infarction
3. A percutaneous coronary intervention
4. Coronary artery bypass grafting
5. Functional status after one, six, and twelve months
6. Two, three and five years follow-up
