Effect of Adjunctive Intracoronary Streptokinase on Late Term Left Ventricular Infarct Size and Volumes in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Acute Coronary Syndromes
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Reperfusion Injury
Interventions
Procedure: primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Registration Number
NCT00627809
Lead Sponsor
Istanbul University
Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesized that complementary intracoronary streptokinase administration to primary percutaneous intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction may provide limitation infarct size and improvement in left ventricular volumes and function in acute and late phases (6 months).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Left ventricular infarct size by SPECTat long term (5-6 months)
Left ventricular diastolic volumeat long term (5-6 months)
