Delayed Postconditioning (PRIME)

Delayed Angioplasty Postconditioning in STEMI Patients

The investigators previously reported that angioplasty postconditioning reduces infarct size (cardiac enzyme release) in STEMI patients with a fully occluded coronary artery at hospital admission. Animal studies have suggested that the time window for applying brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion aimed at triggering postconditioning's protection is very narrow, i.e. does not expand beyond 1 minute after reflow. We sought to address whether this window might be larger in humans, i.e. whether STEMI patients might be protected several minutes after undergoing spontaneous reperfusion before admission coronary angiography.

Therefore, STEMI patients (onset of chest pain less than 12 hours) with a TIMI flow grade > 1 were eligible for that study. Angioplasty postconditioning was completed as already published and infarct size was assessed by measuring cardiac enzymes release.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient > 18 years old
  • Male or female
  • Presenting first myocardial infarction, with the beginning of pains < 12 hours,
  • Requiring a revascularisation by primary angioplasty or " rescue " (after failure of thrombolysis) on LAD or RCA (not Circumflex coronary artery).

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Postconditionned
36 postconditionned patients
Postconditioning consists of four cycles of one minute balloon inflation followed by one minute of balloon deflation, with the initial inflation being started within the first minute after reopening of the culprit coronary artery.
Sham Comparator: Conventional intervention
36 control patients with conventional primary percutaneaous intervention (PCI)
Conventional primary percutaneaous intervention
