Efficacy and Safety Study of Deferred Stenting in Patients With STEMI (INNOVATION)

November 16, 2015 updated by: Dr. Cheol Woong Yu, Korea University Anam Hospital

Impact of Immediate Stent Implantation Versus Deferred Stent Implantation on Infarct Size and Microvascular Perfusion in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

It is known that no reflow phenomenon by microvascular obstruction after revascularization in STEMI increase infarct size, cardiac remodeling, and a risk of late mortality. Major mechanism of microvascular obstruction is distal embolization during procedure. Some investigators showed deferred stenting decreased the degree of microvascular obstruction compared with immediate stenting in STEMI. The aim of current study is to compare impact of immediate stent implantation versus deferred stent implantation on infarct size and microvascular perfusion in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

  1. Patients will be enrolled if they agree to participate in the study and sign informed consent among patients who are satisfied with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Acceptance of the study will be taken concurrently at the situation when the patient admitted via emergency department with the diagnosis of STEMI and informed consent of primary coronary angiography and intervention is taken. Considering emergent situation of the procedure, it is thought to be impossible to take informed consent of the study before procedure and after achieving TIMI flow. Duty operator will inform to the patient when taking informed consent of primary coronary angiography and intervention that the patient will be randomized to immediate coronary stenting group or deferred coronary stent group, and explain about theoretical background of deferred coronary stenting. To all patients, aspirin 300㎎, clopidogrel 600㎎ are administered orally and heparin intravenously until achieving ACT (activated clotting time) between 200 and 250 seconds. Maximal total dose of unfractionated heparin of 100 unit/㎏ will be administered before intervention.
  2. Transradial or transfemoral approach will be determined on operator's decision. Flow of the infarct related artery (IRA) will be checked as total occlusion, TIMI 0, Ⅰ or Ⅱ after coronary angiography.
  3. Abciximab (0.25㎎/㎏) intracoronary injection will be performed to all possible patients after guidewire has passed culprit lesion. Additional manual thrombus aspiration or balloon angioplasty can be performed by operator to achieve TIMI Ⅲ flow. When TIMI Ⅲ flow is achieved after these procedures, patient will be randomized to immediate stenting or deferred stenting group.
  4. Although stent implantation without balloon angioplasty is preferred in immediate stenting group, balloon angioplasty can be performed to achieve distal flow. In deferred stenting group, second stage procedure (stent implantation) will be done at 5 to 7 days after TIMI Ⅲ flow has achieved.
  5. On coronary intervention (stent implantation), all possible cases will be implanted with Nobori Biolimus A9-eluting coronary stent (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan). (Other stents can be used if the length of the lesion cannot be covered with Nobori stent.)
  6. In both group, abciximab continuous intravenous infusion on a dose of 0.125 ㎍/㎏/min (maximum dose 10 ㎍/min) will be done after initial procedure if possible. (Intracoronary injection and intravenous infusion of abciximab should be done unless there is no contraindication of abciximab.)
  7. In both group, subcutaneous enoxaparin (low molecular weight heparin) injection will be done twice daily until 3 days after procedure if possible. In case of stent implantation in the fifth to seventh day within deferred coronary stenting group, enoxaparin injection can be extended until deferred intervention.
  8. Transradial and transfemoral approach are all possible. If procedure is done with transfemoral approach, sheath removal will be done after continuous intravenous abciximal infusion of 12 hours and enoxaparin injection after hemostasis has been confirmed.
  9. In case of residual stenosis of IRA is below 30% within deferred coronary stenting group, intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) will be performed at the secondary procedure and withdrawal of stenting can be done upon operator's discretion.
  10. In case of multivessel disease, intervention of non-IRA will be deferred in both groups. Therefore, PCI on IRA and non-IRA will be done concurrently in deferred coronary stenting group.
  11. Patient will maintain dual antiplatelet therapy of aspirin 100㎎ and clopidogrel 75㎎ after PCI.
  12. Among prescribed drugs after PCI, statin agent can be used upon operator's discretion.
  13. Cardiac MRI is done on the period of 30±7 days after diagnosed as STEMI in both group.
  14. Follow-up period is 1 month ± 1 week, 6 month ± 4 week, and 12 month ± 4 week in both group. Transthoracic echocardiography will be done at 6 month ± 4 week follow-up period.

Placebo Comparator: Immediate coronary stenting
Within enrolled patients who agreed to participate in the study, signed informed consent and being satisfied with inclusion and exclusion criteria, stent implantation is done on the initial procedure in immediate coronary stenting group
Abciximab (0.25㎎/㎏) intracoronary injection will be performed to all possible patients after guidewire has passed culprit lesion. Additional manual thrombus aspiration or balloon angioplasty can be performed by operator to achieve TIMI Ⅲ flow. When TIMI Ⅲ flow is achieved after these procedures, patient will be randomized to immediate stenting or deferred stenting group. In immediate stenting group, stenting will be done immediate after achieving TIMI III flow during initial procedure.
Active Comparator: Deferred coronary stenting
Within enrolled patients who agreed to participate in the study, signed informed consent and being satisfied with inclusion and exclusion criteria, only TIMI Ⅲ flow achievement is done on the initial procedure and stent implantation is deferred after 5-7 days admission in the deferred coronary stenting group.
