Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intra-coronary adenosine or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) delivered selectively via a thrombus aspiration catheter (or if unsuccessful via a coronary microcatheter) following thrombus aspiration in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (P-PCI) reduces microvascular obstruction (MVO) parameters and infarct size as measured with cardiac MRI, compared with standard treatment following thrombus aspiration in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Study Arms (3)
Std PCI + Intra-coronary (IC) Adenosine
EXPERIMENTALIC Adenosine in to IRA (following thrombus aspiration) with further dose via guide catheter following coronary stent deployment.
Std PCI + IC Sodium Nitroprusside (SNP)
EXPERIMENTALIC SNP in to IRA (following thrombus aspiration) with further dose via guide catheter following coronary stent deployment.
Std PCI
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard PCI only
Interventions
IC Adenosine 1mg injected distally via micro-catheter in to IRA following thrombus aspiration with further dose (1mg if IRA is RCA otherwise 2mg) via guide catheter following coronary stent deployment.
IC SNP 250mcg injected distally via micro-catheter distally in to IRA following thrombus aspiration with further 250 mcg dose delivered via guide catheter following coronary stent deployment.
PCI procedure with thrombectomy (via aspiration catheter) and bivalirudin given as standard.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- ≥ 18 years age.
- Informed ASSENT (verbal consent) prior to angiography.
- STEMI ≤ 6 hrs of symptom onset, requiring primary reperfusion by PCI.
- Single-vessel coronary artery disease (non culprit disease ≤70% stenosis at angiography)
- TIMI flow 0/I at angiography.
You may not qualify if:
- Contraindications to: P-PCI \*, CMR\*\*, contrast agents, or study medications: Adenosine\*\*\*, SNP\*\*\*\*, Aspirin, Thienopyridine and Bivalirudin.
- SBP ≤ 90mmHg
- Cardiogenic Shock
- Previous Q wave myocardial infarction
- Culprit lesion not identified or located in a by-pass graft
- Stent thrombosis.
- Left main disease.
- Known severe asthma.
- Known stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (eGFR\<30ml/min).
- Pregnancy.
- Notes:
- \*\* Absolute contra-indication to CMR (Pacemaker, ICD, intra-cranial metal clips).
- \*\*\* Contraindications to Adenosine (known hypersensitivity to Adenosine, sick sinus syndrome, second or third degree atrio-ventricular block - except in patients with functioning artificial pacemaker, long QT syndrome has been defined as QTc \> 450 ms at baseline). ECG will be undertaken just after the first dose of the study drug and QT/QTc will be recorded and compared to the baseline. If the QTc recorded after the first dose of the study drug exceeds 450ms or there is an increase in the QT/QTc of \> 60 ms from baseline, the second dose will be abandoned and this will be recorded.
- \*\*\*\* Contraindications to SNP (known hypersensitivity to SNP, compensatory hypertension - as may be seen in arteriovenous shunts or coarctation of the aorta, high output failure, congenital optic atrophy or tobacco amblyopia).
