STENTYS Self-expanding Versus Balloon-expandable Stent in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) (APPOSITION ll)

January 21, 2011 updated by: Stentys

Randomized Comparison Between the STENTYS Self-expanding Coronary Stent and a Balloon-expandable Stent in Acute Myocardial Infarction - APPOSITION II

Study hypothesis: the Stentys self-expandable Stent results into a better alignment of the struts to the vessel wall than a balloon-expandable stent within a few days after the procedure in acute myocardial infarction patients.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Stent strut malapposition and stent underexpansion are a common phenomenon in AMI as a result of the changing anatomy after an AMI has occurred (thrombus dissolution, resolution of spasm) with the traditional balloon-expandable stent treatment. A self-expanding stent might lead to better stent strut apposition as it follows the contours of the vessel wall due to its self-expanding properties. This might result into better long term clinical outcomes like lower thrombosis rates.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject 18 years old.
  2. Acute Myocardial Infarction defined as presence of at least two of the three items below:

    1. Detection of rise of cardiac biomarkers with a least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit (URL)
    2. Symptoms of ischaemia (chest pain) >20 minutes
    3. ECG changes indicative of new ischaemia: new ST-T changes (ST deviation ≥0.2mV precordial leads and/or ≥0.1mV limb leads) or new LBBB)
  3. Reperfusion expected to be achieved within 12 hours from the onset of symptoms
  4. Subject understands the nature of the procedure and provides written informed consent prior to the catheterization procedure.
  5. Subject is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluation and can be contacted by telephone.
  6. Acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
  7. Male or non-pregnant female subject.

Angiographic Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Reference vessel diameter >2.5mm and <4.0mm by visual estimate.
  2. Target lesion <30mm in length by visual estimate

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints.
  2. Coronary or cardiac intervention or major surgery of any kind within 30 days prior to the procedure.
  3. Target vessel supplied by by-pass vessel
  4. Patients on anticoagulation therapy (Coumadin)
  5. Patient received thrombolytic therapy.
  6. Myocardial infarction due to stent thrombosis, or infarct lesion at the side of a previously implanted stent
  7. Cardiogenic shock
  8. Any previous stent placement within 10mm (proximal or distal) of the target lesion.
  9. Co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the subject's ability to participate in the study or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
  10. Concurrent medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 6 months.
  11. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <30% at the most recent evaluation.
  12. Cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack in the last 6 months.
  13. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin or bivalirudin, clopidogrel or ticlopidine, cobalt, nickel, or sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  14. Known serum creatinine level >2.5mg/dl or presence or history of renal failure

Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unprotected left main coronary artery disease (obstruction greater than 50% in the left main coronary artery that is not protected by at least one non-obstructed bypass graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) or left circumflex (LCX) artery or a branch thereof).
  2. Target vessel is excessively tortuous (two bends >90˚ to reach the target lesion).
  3. Lesion location that is aorto-ostial or within 5mm of the origin of the LAD or LCX.
  4. Target lesion is severely calcified.
