FLOW Evaluation to Guide Revascularization in Multi-vessel ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial InfarctionAcute Myocardial Infarction1 more

Although current guidelines recommend fractional flow reserve (FFR) to identify haemodynamically relevant coronary lesion(s) in stable patients when evidence of ischaemia is not available (Class I, Level of Evidence: A), no published study has assessed the usefulness of FFR to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multi-vessel disease (MVD). The main objective of this study is to determine whether, in STEMI patients with MVD amenable to PCI, the use of FFR in addition to angiography will improve cardiovascular outcomes, compared with the current practice of angiography- guided PCI, by improving the appropriateness of revascularisations by assessing the relevance of non-culprit lesions in the context of STEMI with multivessel coronary artery disease. The secondary objective is to assess the safety and the cost-effectiveness of the FFR-guided strategy compared to the angiography-guided strategy.

Ffr-gUidance for compLete Non-cuLprit REVASCularization

Coronary Artery DiseaseST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background: The best strategy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with multi-vessel disease, who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the infarct-related artery (IRA) in the acute phase with remaining multivessel disease, is still not well established. Current guidelines recommend PCI of only the infarct related artery (IRA). However, recent small scale randomised controlled trials indicate that full revascularization of these non-infarct related arteries during the index procedure is superior to initial conservative treatment. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), a method used to determine ischemia-inducing lesions, has been shown to be superior to angiography-guided PCI in stable angina. Objective and methods: To test the hypothesis that a strategy of systematic complete revascularization with FFR-guided PCI following STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI leads to improved clinical outcomes at one year compared to initial conservative management of non-culprit lesions. The trial is a prospective international multicentre registry-based randomized controlled trial with combined primary endpoint of all-cause mortality and non-fatal MI at one year. Key secondary endpoint is unplanned revascularization. 1545 patients with acute STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI with multi-vessel disease in Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Finland, Latvia, Australia and New Zealand will be randomized into 2 arms: FFR-guided PCI of non-culprit lesions during index hospital admission or Initial conservative management following acute PCI of the culprit lesion(s) or Randomization and data collection in the registries - the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) and corresponding registries in other countries (or electronic data capture) - will ensure low bias, high inclusion rate and excellent follow-up of events at a low cost. Adjudication of clinical events and collection of data from other registries including death cause registries is also planned. Significance: If this study shows that FFR-guided PCI of non-culprit lesions in STEMI/very high risk NSTEMI improves clinical outcome compared to conventional management this will change practise in how we should best manage these patients. Therefore a study of this size will definitely be of great importance in determining future guidelines for this large patient group to reduce both morbidity and mortality.

A Randomized Comparison of Long-Term Healing Between Biodegradable- Versus Durable-Polymer Everolimus...

STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

This study aims to compare the acute thrombogenecity and frequency of neoatherosclerotic lesions and other aspects of long term arterial healing such as the frequency of malapposed and uncovered stent struts at 3 years among patients treated with either a biodegradable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Synergy) or a durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience Alpine) for STEMI.

Bivalirudin With Prolonged Full Dose Infusion Versus Heparin Alone During Emergency PCI

ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

This study is aimed to investigate if the bivaliruding with prolonged full dose infusion after PCI is superior to heparin alone in reducing 30-day mortality or major bleeding for patients with STEMI treated with emergency PCI. A total of 6000 STEMI patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive bivalirudin or heparin during emergency PCI in a 1:1 ratio. This study will provide key evidence for peri-operative anticoagulant therapy decisions in STEMI patients.

Cell Free DNA in Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis With MyocarditisSarcoidosis2 more

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause that can affect any organ in the body, including the heart. Granulomatous myocarditis can lead to ventricular dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias causing significant morbidity and mortality. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) has been shown to reverse active myocarditis and preserve left ventricular (LV) function and in some cases improve LV function. In addition, IST can suppress arrhythmias that develop due to active myocarditis and prevent the formation of scar. The potential role of cardiac biomarkers, including brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and cardiac troponins, in detecting active myocarditis is limited and studies have been disappointing. At present, there are no biomarkers to detect active myocarditis and the use of advanced imaging modalities (FDG-PET) for assessing and monitoring active myocarditis is not feasible or practical and is associate with high radiation exposure. As such, a biomarker that is reflective of active myocarditis and that is cardiac specific will assist physicians in assessing the presence of active myocarditis to guide therapeutic decisions and to assess response to therapy which can limit further cardiac damage. Cell free DNA (cfDNA) are fragments of genomic DNA that are released into the circulation from dying or damaged cells. It is a powerful diagnostic tool in cancer, transplant rejection and fetal medicine especially when the genomic source differs from the host. A novel technique that relies on tissue unique CpG methylation patterns can identify the tissue source of cell free DNA in an individual reflecting potential tissue injury. We will be conducting a pilot study to explore the utility of this diagnostic tool to identify granulomatous myocarditis in patients with sarcoidosis.

Primary PCI in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction and Multivessel Disease: Treatment...

ST-elevation Myocardial InfarctionMulti Vessel Disease

In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the primary treatment is acute angioplasty of the acute occlusion (culprit lesion). In STEMI patients with multi vessel disease (MVD) no evidence based treatment of the non-culprit lesions exists. We aim to provide evidence as to whether full revascularization or revascularization of the culprit lesion only provides the best prognosis for the patient.

Cardioprotective Effect of Dexmedetomidine in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction...

ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)Percutaneous Coronary Intervention1 more

This is a double-blind, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. It is planned to enroll patients admitted with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 6h of symptom onset and undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria were randomized 1:1 into the dexmedetomidine (DEX) group or the placebo (saline) group after signing the informed consent. In the DEX group, intravenous injection of DEX was started immediately after enrollment, covering the entire PCI operation, and the administration was stopped at the end of the pPCI. The administration of saline was the same as those in the DEX group. The primary endpoint was the myocardial infarct size (MIS) as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at 5±2 days post-STEMI. Based on a superiority design and assuming an 20.0% relative infarct size reduction (from 26.0% to 20.8% with a SD of 13.0%), 250 patients are required to be enrolled, accounting for 20% drop-out (α= 0.05 and power= 80%).
