Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether opening an occluded infarcted artery 3-28
days after an acute myocardial infarction in high-risk asymptomatic patients with preserved
infarct zone viability improves left ventricular systolic function and volumes at 6 months
follow-up. The secondary purpose is to assess the changes in myocardial tissue
characteristics after late percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
