Postconditioning in Primary PCI and Direct Stenting

Not Applicable
Conditions
Myocardial Infarction
Registration Number
NCT00351247
Lead Sponsor
Sheba Medical Center
Brief Summary

To determine the safety and efficacy of 2 vs 4 cycles of postconditioning method during primary PCI and direct stenting in acute MI, and to compared to primary PCI and direct stenting without the postconditioning.

Detailed Description

Sample size: 45 subjects

Site Locations: Sheba medical center

Patients: Patients presenting with an acute MI with onset of symptoms  6h, and planned to undergo primary PCI will be included. The target lesion should be located in the proximal or middle segment of a main native coronary artery, and should be suitable for percutaneous intervention.

Primary Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of 2 vs 4 cycles of postconditioning method during primary PCI and direct stenting in acute MI, and to compared to primary PCI and direct stenting without the postconditioning.

Primary Endpoint:

* ST segment resolution.

* Segmental wall motion score, resolution of edema and wall thickness by echocardiography.

* Infarct size estimation by cardiac enzymes and cardiac MRI.

Secondary endpoints:

* Composite endpoint of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 30 and 90 days

Methods:

* ECG at baseline, immediately after procedure, 90 and 180 minutes after the procedure and 6-24 hours after intervention.

* Core laboratory angiography measurements of TIMI flow, corrected TIMI Frame count, myocardial blush score and left ventricular angiography.

* Myocardial enzymes measurements: every 4 hours in the first 24 hours and every 6 hours in the following 48 hours.

* Left ventricular ejection fraction and wall motion score determined by echocardiography.

* Cardiac MRI estimation of infarct size. • Clinical follow-up at 30 and 90 days post procedure.

Follow-up:

* Follow up at 30 days: Clinical.

* Clinical Follow up \& Cardiac MRI at 90 days.

Target Recruitment
45
Inclusion Criteria
  • Patient is > 21 years of age and provides informed consent.
  • Evidence of AMI as indicated by signs and symptoms. Diagnosis of ST-segment elevation AMI will be based on chest pain for >30 minutes and ST-segment elevation of >1mV in 2 limb lead or >2mV in 2 anterior leads contiguous leads on the 12-lead ECG.
  • Eligible to undergo primary PCI.
  • Symptom duration is < 6 hours prior to primary PCI.
  • Angiographic: The target lesion in the infarct related artery (IRA) should be occluded (TIMI).
  • Angiographic: The target lesion in the proximal or middle segment of a native major coronary artery (LAD, RCA or dominant CX).
  • Angiographic: The target lesion should be suitable for PTCA or stenting.
  • Angiographic: The IRA occlusion will be successfully opened by stenting with TIMI 2-3
Exclusion Criteria
  • Unwillingness to participate.
  • Prior Acute MI
  • Cardiac arrest or Killip score III-IV
  • Women with known pregnancy.
  • Active significant bleeding.
  • Known allergy for aspirin, ticlopidine and clopidogrel, or heparin.
  • Chronic renal failure with creatinine > 2 mg/dl
  • Other medical illness associated with limited life expectancy or that may cause the patient to be non-compliant with the protocol.
  • Current participation in other trials using investigational drugs or devices.
  • Contraindications to MRI including: arrythmias, cardiac pacer, brain aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, nerve stimulator.
