Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phentolamine in prevention of CA-AKI following complex PCI in patients at high risk of CA-AKI.


Description:

Coronary angiography is accepted as the gold standard diagnostic procedure in the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). It involves the visualization of the coronary arteries using contrast dye and dynamic X-ray imaging and allows for the identification of suitable lesions for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI has more importance when performed as an emergency procedure during acute coronary syndromes (ACS) providing immediate relief of symptoms, preventing myocardial damage and reducing mortality rates despite its potential complications. These complications varies in its incidence including arrhythmias, coronary dissection, bleeding at the access site, allergy to contrast agent and kidney injury with varying risk on patient condition. Contrast-associate acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), formerly termed contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), is a significant complication of PCI and the third most common cause of renal failure in hospitalized patients. It is defined as a rise in creatinine of ≥ 50% of baseline or 0.3 mg/dL from the pre-contrast value within 48-72 hours of intravascular administration of a contrast medium, which is usually reversible acute kidney injury. The development of CA-AKI despite successful percutaneous coronary procedures is associated with prolonged hospitalization, an increase in health expenditure, and increased short and long-term mortality for most patients. Therefore, early risk prediction and management is crucial. Over the past few decades, a number of risk scores have been introduced to predict contrast-associated acute kidney injury after PCI. The most commonly used is Mehran score that was introduced in 2004 for its simplicity and availability but it excluded patients with acute myocardial infarction. However, it recently updated with larger population and more emphasis on patient's ACS presentation and procedural features and reintroduced in 2021 as Mehran 2 CA-AKI Risk Score. Exact pathophysiological mechanism of CA-AKI is not known and includes complex cascades of events. The most important elements of pathophysiological mechanism of CA-AKI seem to be the medullary hypoxia due to contrast-induced medullary vasoconstriction and direct renal tubular cytotoxicity, in addition to oxidative stress and the increase in blood and renal tubular viscosity which are complementary events that further exacerbates CA-AKI. Several clinical interventions aimed to reduce the incidence of CA-AKI targeting various aspects of the pathophysiology including volume expansion with intravenous fluid, administration of N-acetylcysteine, sodium bicarbonate, vitamin E, statins and vasodilator agents with different protective efficacy but only few of them had been approved for clinical practice. Vasodilators agents like nicorandil showed a statistically significant lower odds of developing CA-AKI with periprocedural hydration and the vasodilator agent nicorandil versus periprocedural hydration only (OR: 0.173). Also, a recent clinical trial has demonstrated encouraging results regarding the renoprotective effects of phentolamine in chronic coronary syndrome following PCI with odds ratio 0.04 of CA-AKI in phentolamine group in comparison to control group. Phentolamine, a non-selective alpha-adrenergic antagonist, is primarily used for the treatment of conditions involving excessive sympathetic activity. While it is not a commonly used medication in the management of CAD, it used in various cardiovascular urgent conditions as in hypertensive crisis and in the treatment of cocaine-induced ACS which counteract the excessive sympathetic stimulation and reduce peripheral vascular resistance in conjunction with other treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve hemodynamics with less incidence of tachycardia associated with other vasodilators e.g. nitroglycerin. This clinical trial will investigate the potential of phentolamine as a renoprotective agent following complex PCI by evaluating the impact of phentolamine on renal outcomes and its safety which may significantly impact clinical practice by guiding the use of phentolamine as an adjuvant therapy, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of CA-AKI in high-risk population.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
Phentolamine
In addition to the conventional management, patients will receive phentolamine (Rogitamine; Egypharma) infusion at a rate of 0.5 µgm/kg/min for the first 15 minutes after a bolus dose of 5 mg. If significant hemodynamic change occurred, the infusion then will be discontinued and the patient will be excluded. Otherwise, the dose will be uptitrated gradually 0.5-2 ugm/kg/min and the infusion will be continue for 12 hours.
