NCT02021760

Brief Summary

  • Trial objective: To test the hypothesis that remote per-postconditioning in connection with primary PCI will reduce myocardial infarct size patients with STEMI.
  • Trial Design: Placebo controlled randomized study with parallel groups
  • Primary Endpoint: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) day 4-7
  • Efficacy Parameters: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage to the myocardium at risk determined by CMR at 6 months.
  • Global left ventricular function determined by left ventricular ejection fraction determined by CMR.
  • Microvascular obstruction determined by CMR day 4-7. Quantified ECV (extracellular volume) in left ventricular as myocardium at risk day 4-7 and remodelling parameters day 180.
  • Safety Parameters: Major adverse cardiovascular events.

Study Arms (2)

Remote Ischemic per-postconditioning

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Remote conditioning is induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff around the left thigh to 200 mmHg or 20 mmHg above systolic blood pressure (if \>180 mmHg) for 5 min followed by deflation for 5 min. At least one of these conditioning cycles is performed before PCI is initiated. If time allows, cycles of remote conditioning (5 min leg ischemia and 5 min reperfusion) are repeated until PCI is performed. Following reperfusion, defined as first balloon inflation, four additional cycles of remote conditioning will be performed.

Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Sham

SHAM COMPARATOR

The sham procedures include application of the cuff around the thigh but it is not inflated. Otheriwize normal primary PCI.

Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Interventions

Primary Percutanous Coronary Intervention is performed in both Groups.
