Minimizing Reperfusion Injury in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (PCinAMI)
Acute Myocardial Infarction
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Myocardial Infarction focused on measuring ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), timed balloon inflations, post conditioning
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- STEMI
- Onset of symptoms within 6 hours
- TIMI 0 to TIMI 1 flow in infarct related artery
Exclusion Criteria:
- collaterals to infarct related artery
- previous infarct in related territory
- thrombolytics
- cardiogenic shock
- TIMI 2 to TIMI 3 flow
Sites / Locations
- University of Cincinnati
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Post conditioning
Usual Care
After 30 seconds of re-established coronary flow following the therapeutic balloon dilatation and deflation, the same balloon will be re-inflated for 30 seconds and then again deflated for 30 seconds. The balloon should be inflated to only occlude the coronary artery. This procedure of balloon inflation/deflation will be performed a total of 3 to 4 times.
Usual care for treatment of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 0 to TIMI 1 flow in occluded infarct related artery. Usual care includes reperfusion of the artery per operator discretion, i.e. primary stenting, thrombectomy, balloon inflation/deflation without timed intervals.
