Drug-coated Balloon Versus Drug-eluting Stent in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Lesions in STEMI...
Acute Myocardial InfarctionThe study aims to find a DCB treatment for STEMI patients can achieve early and mid-term functional outcomes that are not inferior to DES, and realize the strategy of intervention without implantation.
Randomized Trial of Standard vs ClearWay-infused Abciximab and Thrombectomy for Myocardial Infarction...
ST-elevation Myocardial InfarctionSubjects with ST-elevation myocardial infarction will be randomized, to one of the following: abciximab infusion with the ClearWay coronary catheter (C), standard abciximab infusion (A), thrombectomy followed by abciximab infusion with the ClearWay catheter (T+C), or thrombectomy followed by standard abciximab infusion (T+A). The primary objective is to demonstrate that abciximab infusion with the ClearWay catheter with or without manual thrombus aspiration (groups C or T+C) will result in a significant reduction of intra-stent thrombus formations when compared to intravenous or intracoronary abciximab with or without thrombectomy (groups A or T+A). The primary endpoint will be the number of cross sections with thrombus area >10% immediately after stent implantation as assessed with OCT. Additional angiographic, ECG, and clinical endpoints will be collected and adjudicated. This trial is currently being registered at ClinicalTrials.gov.

Unstable AnginaNon-ST-Elevation Myocardial InfarctionThe primary outcome in this study will be time to discharge for low-risk patients and therapeutic turnaround time for patients with NSTEMI or unstable angina.
Ciclosporin A and Acute Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial InfarctionBeyond its immunosuppressive properties, ciclosporine A (CsA) can also inhibit the opening of a mitochondrial mega-channel called the permeability transition pore (mPTP). Opening of the mPTP plays a key role in cardiomyocyte death during reperfusion following a prolonged ischemic insult. Ciclosporin A has been shown to reduce infarct size when administered at reperfusion in experimental models. The objective of the present study is to determine whether administration of CsA at reperfusion in patients with ongoing acute myocardial infarction treated by coronary angioplasty might reduce infarct size.
Sirolimus Eluting Stenting in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial InfarctionThe incidence of stent restenosis in the setting of primary angioplasty is particularly high, reaching a rate of 27% In the last years the introduction of drug-eluting stents has drastically reduced the incidence of restenosis in patients not requiring urgent revascularization. Whether drug-eluting stenting might constitute the new optimal therapy for patients with an acute myocardial infarction is unknown. To be able to answer this question, we designed a randomized trial in which patients with an acute myocardial infarction eligible for treatment with primary angioplasty and abciximab were randomized to receive either a rapamicine-eluting stent or a conventional bare stent.
Enoxaparin and Thrombolysis Reperfusion for Acute Myocardial Infarction Treatment Thrombolysis in...
Myocardial InfarctionAcute ST-Segment ElevationThe primary objective of the study is to determine whether enoxaparin compared to unfractionated heparin will reduce the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and non-fatal myocardial re-infarction within 30 days after randomization in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who are eligible to receive fibrinolytic therapy
Senior PAMI: Primary Angioplasty Versus Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction in...
Myocardial InfarctionThis is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, international trial comparing two reperfusion strategies in elderly (age >= 70 years) patients with acute myocardial infarction: primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Clinical endpoints will be collected in the hospital, at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization. The primary endpoint is 30 day death or disabling stroke. The study null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in death or disabling stroke at 30 days post-randomization between patients treated with PCI versus thrombolytics.

ST Elevation Myocardial InfarctionTo examine the impact of IVUS guidance on clinical outcomes in the patient with Acute ST Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction.
Comparison of MECHANISM of Early and Late Vascular Responses Following Treatment of ST-elevation...
Coronary Artery DiseaseTo place two different everolimus-eluting stents (EES), a bioabsorbable polymer EES (Synergy®) and a permanent-type polymer EES (Xience®), randomly to the ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to observe and compare the early and chronic vascular responses using the frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). The primary endpoint is the 2-week strut coverage rate by FD-OCT.
