Counterpulsation Reduces Infarct Size Pre-PCI for AMI

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Registration Number
NCT00833612
Lead Sponsor
Datascope Corp.
Brief Summary

Subjects with anterior acute STEMI who receive an IABC before primary PCI will have decreased MI size.

Detailed Description

Post clearance device study in which subjects with acute MI will be randomized 1:1 to either receive IAB or to receive standard of care without IAB before mechanical reperfusion. Subjects will be followed throughout their hospital stay and at 30 days.
