Active clinical trials for "ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction"

This study will test the hypothesis intracoronary administration of OmniMSC-AMI (allogenic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) just after finishing the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients without cardiogenic shock is safe and may provide benefit on improving left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during clinical follow-up.

The primary objective of the trial is to compare the efficacy of early with deferred invasive strategy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within 24-48h of symptom onset.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC MSC) therapy in patients with STEMI against infarct myocardial size reduction and prevent the incidence of heart failure in the future

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in China. The goal of this interventional, randomised controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a single administration of Nivolumab to the patients presenting with an acute anterior ST-segmental elevated myocardial infarction. Researchers will investigate if Nivolumab treatment can effectively and safely reduce infarct size as well as improve cardiac function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction.

In this study we pretend to determine the molecular (miRNAs expression, angiogenic and inflammatory biomarkers) and microcirculatory (assessed by the innovative continuous intracoronary thermodilution technique) effects of PiCSO compared to a standard PCI control group in patients with high-risk anterior STEMI. Then, we aim to assess the efficacy of these molecular biomarkers as prognostic tools. Also, we will evaluate the impact of PiCSO on the coronary microcirculation beyond the acute phase in the follow-up six months after STEMI. Finally, we will assess PiCSO influence on Heart Failure (HF) clinical variables and patients' quality of life including a cost-effectiveness assessment in the mid-term follow-up one year after the STEMI event.

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred revascularization strategy for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) and early-generation thick-strut polymer-based drug-eluting stents (DES), newer-generation DES with thinner strut stent platforms and durable or biodegradable polymers have been shown to improve long-term safety and efficacy outcomes among patients with STEMI. Accordingly, the use of newer-generation DES over BMS is currently recommended by the most recent guidelines. Vessel healing at the culprit site after DES implantation is however substantially delayed in patients with acute STEMI as compared to those with chronic coronary syndromes and is associated with a long-term risk for recurrent stent-related adverse clinical outcomes. These findings highlight the need for future iterations in modern DES technology to further improve clinical outcomes following PCI in this highest-risk patient subset. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of aspirin and a potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor for 12 months after primary PCI for STEMI, unless there are contraindications such as excessive risk of bleeding. A recent meta-analysis of five large-scale randomized clinical trials including a total of 32'145 patients, of whom 4,070 (12.7%) patients were treated for STEMI, indicated that 1-3 months of DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor-based single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after second-generation DES implantation in patients with chronic and acute coronary syndromes was associated with lower risk for major bleeding and similar risk for stent thrombosis, all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke compared with conventional DAPT. These findings suggest that a potent P2Y12 inhibitor-based SAPT following a short DAPT course (1-3 months) may represent a preferable treatment option, which is associated with similar ischemic, but lower bleeding risk, for patients undergoing PCI with newer-generation DES compared to standard conventional 12 months DAPT. The question of whether SAPT using a potent oral P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or prasugrel) without aspirin (aspirin-free strategy) after primary PCI with a newest-generation thin-strut polymer-free drug-eluting stent is safe and effective compared to a conventional guideline-recommended 6- to 12-month DAPT course among patients with STEMI remains uncertain.

To compare the effect of immediate stenting versus deferred stenting - with use of glycoproteinIIbIIIa inhibitor & low molecular weight heparin - on the clinical outcome -3 and 6 months after stenting & also infarct size using troponin level during hospital stay . Clinical outcome - 3 and 6 months - after stenting which includes re-infarction, repeat percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting , Congestive heart failure, cardiac death & cerebrovascular accidents.

The hypothesis of this study is that consciously sedated patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction can be rapidly and safely cooled to a state of therapeutic hypothermia (32 to 34 degrees C) using the LRS ThermoSuit System prior to percutaneous coronary intervention.

The purpose of this observational study is to assess why thrombolytic treatment with tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) fails in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study will include 200 STEMI patients at the time of arrival at Oslo University Hospital Ullevål after receiving prehospital thrombolysis. A blood sample will be taken immediately for the study of factors related to coagulation, fibrinolysis and inflammation. Levels of the biomarkers will be compared between patients with successful and failed thrombolysis.

The goal of the study is to assess the prevalence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury in patients with stable coronary artery disease, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina/NSTEMI, assess the risk factors of contrast-induced acute kidney injury development and the influence of contrast-induced kidney injury on 1-year prognosis.
