Clinical Trial Summary

The study intends to provide new data on whether the noval method using quantitative flow ratio could assess microvascular dysfunction based on the previous study EARLY-MYO-QFR-I.

Description:

Microvascular dysfunction (MVD) is a serious complication of PCI, which happens frequently after STEMI and always correlates with a poor prognosis. However, precise and simplified assessment of MVD is difficult, especially in the acute phase of STEMI patients. Resent studies suggested that FFR could be overestimated when MVD exists. But whether the overestimated value of FFR caused by CMR defined microvascular obstruction (MVO) could reflect microvascular function is still unclear.

In the previous study EARLY-MYO-QFR-I, we have demonstrated that the relationship between Contrast-enhanced CMR defined MVO and QFR. While angiography images were collected on a retrospectively manner, and the study population were selected (STEMI patients with spontaneously recanalized culprit vessel before PCI) to verify our hypothesis.

This phase of study would be a prospective study. We tend to created a new study population by a temporary artificial stenosis inside the stent by partially inflating a balloon catheter during pharmacologic hyperemia in STEMI patients.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• Computation of quantitative flow ratio
After stents were implanted whenever technically possible in the STEMI patients, the investigators created a temporary artificial stenosis inside the stent by partially inflating a balloon catheter during pharmacologic hyperemia. Computation of QFR was performed offline, using AngioPlus system(Pluse medical imaging technology, Shanghai, China). In the first step, 2 diagnostic angiographic projections with the artifical stenosis, at least 25° apart, were selected and 3D reconstruction of the interrogated vessel without its side branches was performed. Then, the software computed the QFR.
