Active clinical trials for "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction"

The FAVOR V AMI study is a prospective, multicenter, blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial comparing the long-term clinical outcomes of the "Functional and Angiography-derived Strain inTegration (FAST)" technique (next-generation quantitative flow ratio [μQFR] and radial wall strain [RWS]) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy, with standard treatment strategy, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary disease (MVD).

Recent guidelines for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommend against the routine use of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) (Class III indication). Yet, so far, there is limited data regarding its role STEMI patients with heavy thrombus burden (TB). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effects of manual TA and PCI in comparison to conventional PCI alone in a real-life clinical trial among heavy TB STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.

Angiographic no-reflow during primary PCI procedures occurs at relatively high rate (25%) and is associated with worsening of long term morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism of no-reflow is not fully understood, yet it is believed to be multifactorial including microvascular plugging with activated platelets and thrombotic debris in addition to the microvascular dysfunction from the ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Despite a theoretical advantage of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPi) (like; Tirofiban) to suppress the intense platelets' activation/reaction; their use did not lead to a significant net benefit, because it was opposed by increased risk of bleeding. However, the bleeding that plagued GPi use was predominantly related to vascular access in the era femoral approach was the default. Moreover, there are some recent data suggesting that small intracoronary bolus of GPi was non-inferior to intravenous bolus-infusion dose with less bleeding events. This study plans to assess upfront premedication with small doses of GPi + Nitroglycerin ± Verapamil, with staged restoration of flow (repeated balloon inflation) to reduce angiographic no-reflow and CMR assessed microvascular occlusion (MVO).

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite of the early reperfusion therapy, including fibrinolysis, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),and standardized medical treatment.To improve the prognosis of STEMI patients, the management in their hospitalization should be optimized, including improvements in risk stratification, more widespread use of an invasive strategy, implementation of care delivery systems prioritising immediate revascularisation through PCI (or fibrinolysis), advances in antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, and greater use of secondary prevention strategies such as lipid-lowering therapy. This study aims to standardized the management of STEMI patients and improve the prognosis of the STEMI patients.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging enables comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular function, morphology and pathology. The investigators aim to evaluate the nature and clinical significance of magnetic resonance imaging parameters in patients presenting with first acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

This is a multicenter observational prospective study aimed to assess whether plasma exosomes can help identify, at an early stage, patients at high risk of adverse remodeling after STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction) , thus accelerating proper patient management in order to reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events. In order to study the correlation between exosome profile and severity of myocardial infarction, consecutive STEMI patients will be enrolled 3 days after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

The Kitasato PCI Registry is a single-center, observational, prospective study. This study aims to investigate the impact of characteristics in clinical manifestation, patients' background, procedure of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and pre/post PCI culprit/nonculprit lesion observed by intra-coronary imaging modality on clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this multicenter study is to assess the impact of SSO2 treatment on clinical outcomes and left ventricular function in patients following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

PROPHET-FFR is a single center ambispective registry aiming to explore the impact of post-revascularization functional assessment on later outcomes.

This prospective multicenter observational cohort study is designed to study the diagnostic performance of acute-setting angiography-based FFR (e.g. vFFR) for the physiological assessment of intermediate non-culprit lesions in STEMI patients, with acute-setting FFR and acute-setting NHPR (e.g. RFR) as the reference standards.
