Trial Name) Impact of Immediate SteNt ImplaNtatiOn Versus Deferred Stent ImplAntaTION on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with AnteRior Wall ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (INNOVATION-CORE) Objectives) To evaluate the impact of deferred versus immediate stenting in patients with acute ST-segment elevation anterior wall myocardial infarction (STEMI) on 1. the clinical efficacy and safety 2. the microvascular obstruction using Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) 3. the structural and functional cardiac remodeling using conventional echocardiography and strain imaging 4. the intravascular findings using optical coherence tomography (OCT) Study Design) A multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial for anterior wall STEMI patients Patient Enrollment) 460 patients will be enrolled at 20 centers in South-Korea Patient Follow-Up) Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, 6, 12 months, 2, 3 years and 5 years. Investigator or designee may conduct follow-up as telephone contacts or office visits. Primary Endpoint) Composite of all-cause death, hospitalization due to heart failure, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR) at 2 years. Secondary Endpoints) 1. Clinical events A. All-cause death B. Cardiac death C. Hospitalization due to heart failure D. Recurrent MI E. TVR F. Stent thrombosis 2. Imaging parameters A. Echocardiographic parameters i. Left ventricle (LV) remodeling index ii. %LV strain iii. Regional wall motion abnormality B. Cardiac MR parameters (optional) i. Infarct size ii. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) size iii. MVO incidence iv. MVO to infarct ratio C. OCT parameters (optional) i. Plaque morphology ii. Lipid index iii. Minimal scaffold area and area stenosis iv. Stent malapposition
Despite modern reperfusion strategies, myocardial infarction leads to deleterious processes resulting in left ventricular remodelling (LVR) and heart failure (HF). Several biomarkers i.e. galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble ST-2 protein are involved in LVR as a result of inflammatory processes and fibrosis. There is an evidence of a high prognostic value of both biomarkers in prediction of outcomes in HF patients. This study will further investigate the role of Gal-3 and ST-2 in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and without prior HF in prediction of unfavourable outcomes.
To place two different everolimus-eluting stents (EES), a bioabsorbable polymer EES (Synergy®) and a permanent-type polymer EES (Xience®), randomly to the ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to observe and compare the early and chronic vascular responses using the frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). The primary endpoint is the 2-week strut coverage rate by FD-OCT.
The primary aim of this project is to assess if advanced ultrasound methods such as SMI (Superb microvascular Imaging) and SWE (Shear Wave Elastography) can identify intraplaque neovascularization and plaque tissue stiffness in carotid artery plaques and relate these results to ipsilateral cerebrovascular symptoms. The secondary aim of this project is to assess the level of agreement between the structural plaque characteristics assessed by advanced ultrasound examinations such as SMI, SWE, CEUS (Contrast enhanced ultrasound), GSM (Plaque gray-scale-median) and carotid MRI, metabolic activity of plaque assessed by 18F-FDG PET/CT with histology as the gold standard. Findings from the methods mentioned above will be related to cerebrovascular symptoms, blood tests (cholesterol-tot, LDL, HDL, CRP, leukocytes, glucose, HbA1c) and other cardiovascular risk factors at inclusion and upon 1 year follow up.
The study aims to investigate whether oral betablocker (BB) therapy is superior to no such treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality
The EMERALD II study is a multinational, multicenter, and retrospective study. ACS patients who underwent CCTA from 1 months to 3 years prior to the event will be retrospectively identified. Plaques in the non-culprit vessels will be regarded as a primary control group.
The purpose of this clinical study is to collect data to substantiate the use of the VITROS hs Troponin I test as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). The test is further indicated for risk stratification of mortality, myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of reducing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration to 1 month after implantation of the everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent (CoCr-EES) under the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
