ThromboAblation in Acute Myocardial Infarction (TAAMI)

January 19, 2011 updated by: KCRI
  1. Assess whether excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) before direct infarct-related artery (IRA) stenting results in improved reperfusion success in patients presenting with acute ST wave elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and angiographically evident thrombus.
  2. Validate an ELCA technique for the treatment of STEMI, at high-volume centers experienced in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Electrocardiographic inclusion criteria: (baseline 12-lead ECG recorded at 25 mm/second upon arrival at investigational center)

  • STEMI within 12 hours of symptom onset, with ≥ 2 mm ST segment elevation in two or more leads and minimum ≥ 3 mm ST segment elevation in one lead.

Angiographic inclusion criteria after crossing with guidewire:
