Prevention of Coronary Slow Flow or No-Reflow During PPCI in Patients With Acute STEMI

Not Applicable
Conditions
ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Registration Number
NCT03406819
Lead Sponsor
The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University
Brief Summary

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold standard of treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon following PPCI in STEMI patients has been a serious and common complication that closely related to the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and affected patients' prognosis. No reflow is a multi-factorial phenomenon. And its preventive and therapeutic effects are not satisfactory. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare favorable effects of Nitroprusside versus Tirofiban on the prevention of slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon during PPCI.

GroupInterventionDescription
Nitroprusside groupNitroprusside SodiumAfter coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of Nitroprusside Sodium via guide-catheter was performed. Then repeated administration of Nitroprusside Sodium was done prior to coronary stent implantation or post dilatation.
Control groupHeparinized salineAfter coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of heparinized saline via guide-catheter was performed.
Tirofiban groupTirofiban HydrochlorideAfter coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of Tirofiban Hydrochloride via guide-catheter was performed.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Coronary TIMI frame count after balloon dilatation1 minute after balloon dilatation

A continuous measurement assessing flow in the epicardial arteries.

Coronary artery flow using TIMI flow grade after balloon dilatation1 minute after balloon dilatation

Grade 0, no myocardial blush or contrast density; grade 1, minimal myocardial blush or contrast density; grade 2, moderate myocardial blush or contrast density but less than that obtained during angiography of a contralateral or ipsilateral noninfarct-related coronary artery; grade 3, normal myocardial blush or contrast density comparable with that obtained during angiography of a contralateral or ipsilateral noninfarct-related coronary artery.

Coronary TIMI frame count after stent implantation1 minute after stent implantation

A continuous measurement assessing flow in the epicardial arteries.

Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon after stent implantation1 minute after stent implantation

Slow flow phenomenon means delayed progression or lack of contrast medium through the coronary tree.

Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon after balloon dilatation1 minute after balloon dilatation

Slow flow phenomenon means delayed progression or lack of contrast medium through the coronary tree.

Coronary artery flow using thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade after stent implantation1 minute after stent implantation

Grade 0, no myocardial blush or contrast density; grade 1, minimal myocardial blush or contrast density; grade 2, moderate myocardial blush or contrast density but less than that obtained during angiography of a contralateral or ipsilateral noninfarct-related coronary artery; grade 3, normal myocardial blush or contrast density comparable with that obtained during angiography of a contralateral or ipsilateral noninfarct-related coronary artery.

ECG ST-segment fall more than 50%in 2 hours post-PCI

The extent of ST segment elevation was reduced by more than 50%
