Distal Protection Device in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Device: distal protection and thrombus aspiration (The GuardWire Plus (Medtronic Inc.))
Procedure: c-PCI
Registration Number
NCT01384019
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigators examined the mechanism underlying the lack of benefit from distal protection and thrombus aspiration (DP-TA) in 126 patients with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in a prospective, randomized trial.

Detailed Description

Patients with first-diagnosed STEMI were randomly assigned to distal protection and thrombus aspiration (DP-TA) pretreatment during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or conventional PCI (c-PCI).

The primary endpoint was the remodeling index (RI), measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) post-PCI and 6 months after PCI.

Secondary endpoints, determined by CMR within 3 to 5 days after PCI, included the infarct ratio (infarct size to entire left ventricular \[LV\] size ) by delayed-enhancement (DE), area at risk (AAR) ratio (AAR to LV size) by T2 high-signal intensity , microvascular occlusion index (MVO) ratio (MVO to LV size) by DE, and myocardial salvage index (MSI, \[AAR-infarct size\] x 100/AAR).
