Active clinical trials for "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction"

Adequate platelet inhibition with dual antiplatelet therapy is a key therapeutic goal after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), aimed at protecting against stent thrombosis and increased mortality. Recent aggregometric assays have shown that up to one third of acute coronary syndrome patients treated with clopidogrel have incomplete inhibition of adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-induced platelet aggregation while the number of patients treated with aspirin who have incomplete inhibition of thromboxane A2-induced platelet aggregation (ASPI)is much lower. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) has been associated with an increased rate of ischemic events after PCI. However, recent large trials did not show a clinical benefit of TPR-guided therapy modification in acute coronary syndrome patients treated by PCI. On-treatment PLAtelet reactivity-guided Therapy modification FOR ST-segment elevation Myocardial infarction (PLATFORM) is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, parallel-group, controlled clinical trial designed to test the hypothesis that antiplatelet therapy modification is superior to standard antiplatelet regimen among intermediate to high-risk STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. The safety hypothesis is that compared with control arm, interventional study arm will have similar rates of non-coronary artery bypass graft surgery-related bleeding. Approximately 632 ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with intermediate to high-risk (RISK-PCI score >3) clinical features undergoing PPCI will be randomly allocated to treatment modification or standard treatment. Low responders to aspirin will receive 200 mg aspirin for 30 days. Low responders to clopidogrel will receive 180 mg ticagrelor for 1 year. Patients will be followed up to 1 year after PPCI.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MGuard™ Prime stent in the treatment of blocked arteries in coronary arteries in patients undergoing a stenting procedure due to having a heart attack. The MGuard Prime stent wil be compared to other FDA approved bare-metal (BMS) or drug-eluting (DES) coronary stents. The hypotheses are that (1) the MGuard Prime stent will achieve a higher rate of complete ST-segment resolution as seen on the post-procedure ECG as compared to the comparator stent, and will have a similar effect on the rate of all-cause death or recurrent target vessel myocardial infarction at 365 days post-procedure.

This prospective, single arm, observational cohort study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of (high-definition) intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) as guidance for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to assess culprit lesion plaque characteristics and thrombus morphology in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Objectives: To assess clinical outcomes after IVUS-guided primary PCI in STEMI patients. To assess IVUS-guided optimization in STEMI patients. To assess culprit lesion plaque characteristics in STEMI patients with HD-IVUS. To assess and quantify thrombus in STEMI patients with HD-IVUS. To explore HD-IVUS derived predictors for clinically relevant aspiration thrombectomy.

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, and controlled clinical study over a total of 4-week therapy with DLBS1033 in the management of STE-ACS after a primary PCI. There will be 40 STE-ACS subjects (20 subjects in each group) planned to complete the study.

To compare efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

The study will evaluate the effect of BB3 to preserve myocardial (heart) tissue and function following myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting implantation is the current standard treatment for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, stenting in thrombus-laden artery is associated with higher risk of embolization and no-or slow-reflow, leading to larger infarct size and poor prognosis. The SALVAGE study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled study aimed to optimize the therapeutic strategies (deferred vs. immediate stenting) to protect microvascular function and eventually improve clinical outcomes at 12-months in STEMI.

The objectives of this study are to observe and examine prospectively whether excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) and percutaneous coronary intervention with biodegradable-polymer platinum chromium everolimus-eluting stent may improve the myocardial salvage in the patients with anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) using the myocardial scintigram (acute-phase I123-BMIPP and chronic-phase 99mTc-tetrofosmin), and to clarify the myocardial protective effect of excimer laser in the patients with anterior STEMI.

The CERAMICS study is designed to more clearly delineate the current care of acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMICS) patients who are treated with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in the United States with significant experience in MCS, all of whom have the capability of MCS escalation on-site. Study enrollment is targeted at 120 patients at 20 hospital sites, evaluating clinical outcomes, and focusing on outcomes MCS escalation decision making and ICU level management.

The aim of the registry is to investigate the clinical performance of the Magmaris Magnesium Stent in STE-ACS and NSTE-ACS patients.
