Impact of intracoronary contrast injection pressure on reperfusion during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A prospective randomized pilot study.

ABSTRACT: Background:Distal embolization of plaque and thrombotic debris in the infarct-related artery (IRA) may lead to microvascular obstruction resulting in impaired myocardial reperfusion.The aim of the study was to assess the impact of contrast injection pressure in IRA, during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), on myocardial reperfusion in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods:This prospective, randomized, open label, pilot trial evaluated acute STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI, with blinded evaluation of end points. Patients were assigned to higher injection pressure group A (550 pound/inch2) or lower injection pressure group B (200 pound/inch2). Primary endpoint was the postprocedural incidence of restored myocardial perfusion defined as myocardial blush grade (MBG) 3. Results:Study included 100 consecutive acute STEMI patients, with median age of 63 (56-72) years (77% men) who were randomized to higher and lower injection pressure group. Baseline demographic, clinical and angiographic characteristics did not differ significantly between the groups. There were no significant differences between the study groups regarding difference in achieved MBG 3 (33 vs 36 patients, p?=?0.247) nor regarding the ST-segment deviation score neither immediately after (3 vs 4?mm, p?>?0.3) nor 24?h after primary PCI (2 vs 3?mm, p?>?0.3). Conclusion:There was no impact of lower intracoronary contrast injection pressure in comparison to higher injection pressure, during primary PCI in patients with acute STEMI, on myocardial reperfusion as assessed by MBG or ST segment changes in the ECG.The study was registered at registry ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number: NCT03445364, on February 26th 2018.

Project description:Background Intramyocardial edema and hemorrhage are key pathological mechanisms in the development of reperfusion-related microvascular damage in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. These processes may be facilitated by abrupt restoration of intracoronary pressure and flow triggered by primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We investigated whether pressure-controlled reperfusion via gradual reopening of the infarct-related artery may limit microvascular injury in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results A total of 83 patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction were assessed for eligibility and 53 who did not meet inclusion criteria were excluded. The remaining 30 patients with totally occluded infarct-related artery were randomized to the pressure-controlled reperfusion with delayed stenting (PCRDS) group (n=15) or standard primary percutaneous coronary intervention with immediate stenting (IS) group (n=15) (intention-to-treat population). Data from 5 patients in each arm were unsuitable to be included in the final analysis. Finally, 20 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention who were randomly assigned to either IS (n=10) or PCRDS (n=10) were included. In the PCRDS arm, a 1.5-mm balloon was used to achieve initial reperfusion with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction grade 3 flow and, subsequently, to control distal intracoronary pressure over a 30-minute monitoring period (MP) until stenting was performed. In both study groups, continuous assessment of coronary hemodynamics with intracoronary pressure and Doppler flow velocity was performed, with a final measurement of zero flow pressure (primary end point of the study) at the end of a 60-minute MP. There were no complications associated with IS or PCRDS. PCRDS effectively led to lower distal intracoronary pressures than IS over 30 minutes after reperfusion (71.2±9.37 mm Hg versus 90.13±12.09 mm Hg, P=0.001). Significant differences were noted between study arms in the microcirculatory response over MP. Microvascular perfusion progressively deteriorated in the IS group and at the end of MP, and hyperemic microvascular resistance was significantly higher in the IS arm as compared with the PCDRS arm (2.83±0.56 mm Hg.s.cm-1 versus 1.83±0.53 mm Hg.s.cm-1, P=0.001). The primary end point (zero flow pressure) was significantly lower in the PCRDS group than in the IS group (41.46±17.85 mm Hg versus 76.87±21.34 mm Hg, P=0.001). In the whole study group (n=20), reperfusion pressures measured at predefined stages in the early reperfusion period showed robust associations with zero flow pressure values measured at the end of the 1-hour MP (immediately after reperfusion: r=0.782, P<0.001; at the 10th minute: r=0.796, P<0.001; and at the 20th minute: r=0.702, P=0.001) and peak creatine kinase MB level (immediately after reperfusion: r=0.653, P=0.002; at the 10th minute: r=0.597, P=0.007; and at the 20th minute: r=0.538, P=0.017). Enzymatic myocardial infarction size was lower in the PCRDS group than in the IS group with peak troponin T (5395±2991 ng/mL versus 8874±1927 ng/mL, P=0.006) and creatine kinase MB (163.6±93.4 IU/L versus 542.2±227.4 IU/L, P<0.001). Conclusions In patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, pressure-controlled reperfusion of the culprit vessel by means of gradual reopening of the occluded infarct-related artery (PCRDS) led to better-preserved coronary microvascular integrity and smaller myocardial infarction size, without an increase in procedural complications, compared with IS.

Project description:Background: Shenfu injection is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation that alleviates ischemia-reperfusion injury through multiple pharmacologic effects. However, no data are available regarding its efficacy in patients with myocardial infarction. We aimed to examine the effects of Shenfu injection on infarct size in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: From April 2016 to February 2018, 40 patients with first-time anterior STEMI undergoing primary PCI within 6 h of symptom onset were randomized 1:1 to intravenous Shenfu injection (80 ml Shenfu injection + 70 ml 5% glucose injection) or placebo (150 ml 5% glucose injection) before reperfusion. Treatment started before PCI and maintained for 5 days after PCI. The primary end point was infarct size assessed by CK-MB area under the curve (AUC) over 72 h and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging 4 ± 1 days after PCI. Results: Infarct size by area under the curve for CK-MB over 72 h did not differ between the Shenfu injection and placebo groups (5602.5 [3539.4-7526.4] vs. 6403.2 [2234.4-8340.6] ng·h/ml, P = 0.82). Among 32 patients who underwent CMR Imaging, a nominal reduction in infarct size was observed in the Shenfu injection group compared with the placebo group (23.9 [15.2-28.5] % vs. 27 [21.9-31.9] %, P = 0.42). After excluding patients with no or minimal infarct, there was a trend toward reduction in infarct size in the Shenfu injection group (24.1 [20.3-29.3] % vs. 29.1 [24.5-32] %, P = 0.18). Incidence of adverse events was similar between the groups. Conclusions: This pilot study showed that the use of Shenfu injection was safe but did not reduce infarct size by CMR Imaging and CK-MB release kinetics in reperfused patients with STEMI. Larger studies (confining to patients with extensive infarct size) to evaluate the efficacy of Shenfu injection on reperfusion injury are warranted.

Project description:AimsThere are limited contemporary data on the use of initial fibrinolysis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (STEMI-CS). This study sought to compare the outcomes of STEMI-CS receiving initial fibrinolysis vs. primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).MethodsUsing the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample from 2009 to 2017, a comparative effectiveness study of adult (>18 years) STEMI-CS admissions receiving pre-hospital/in-hospital fibrinolysis were compared with those receiving PPCI. Admissions with alternate indications for fibrinolysis and STEMI-CS managed medically or with surgical revascularization (without fibrinolysis) were excluded. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, development of non-cardiac organ failure, complications, hospital length of stay, hospitalization costs, use of palliative care, and do-not-resuscitate status.ResultsDuring 2009-2017, 5297 and 110 452 admissions received initial fibrinolysis and PPCI, respectively. Compared with those receiving PPCI, the fibrinolysis group was more often non-White, with lower co-morbidity, and admitted on weekends and to small rural hospitals (all P < 0.001). In the fibrinolysis group, 95.3%, 77.4%, and 15.7% received angiography, PCI, and coronary artery bypass grafting, respectively. The fibrinolysis group had higher rates of haemorrhagic complications (13.5% vs. 9.9%; P < 0.001). The fibrinolysis group had comparable all-cause in-hospital mortality [logistic regression analysis: 28.8% vs. 28.5%; propensity-matched analysis: 30.8% vs. 30.3%; adjusted odds ratio 0.97 (95% confidence interval 0.90-1.05); P = 0.50]. The fibrinolysis group had comparable rates of acute organ failure, hospital length of stay, rates of palliative care referrals, do-not-resuscitate status use, and lesser hospitalization costs.ConclusionsThe use of initial fibrinolysis had comparable in-hospital mortality than those receiving PPCI in STEMI-CS in the contemporary era in this large national observational study.
