Brief Summary

Background. Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and hyperglycemia on admission have high rates of mortality (1). The management of hyperglycemic patients during STEMI is unclear. We evaluate whether the thrombus aspiration (TA) before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may improve STEMI outcomes in hyperglycemic patients (2). Research Design and Methods. Consecutive 990 hyperglycemic patients with first STEMI undergoing quantitative coronary angiography were studied. Patients were categorized in two groups, either treated by thrombus aspiration v/s patients treated without thrombus aspiration. After discharge from the hospital, all patients will be managed and followed quarterly for 12 months month after event, as outpatients, to perform clinical evaluation, routine analyses and cardiovascular evaluation. The cardiovascular endpoint collected in both cohorts will include cardiac mortality, all-cause mortality and hospitalization for coronary disease and heart failure. Conclusions. We will attend improved outcomes in hyperglycemic patients treated by the TA before PCI, as compared to hyperglycemic patients treated only by PCI.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • cardiovascular death

    death caused by loss of heart function such as sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack (myocardial infarction). ECG and cardiac damage markers

    12 months

  • recurrent myocardial infarction

    Myocardial infarction when there is a blockage in one or more of the arteries to the heart, preventing the heart from receiving enough oxygen-rich blood. If the oxygen in the blood cannot reach the heart muscle, the heart becomes damaged. ECG and cardiac damage markers

    12 months

  • heart failure.

    Heart failure develops when the heart, via an abnormality of cardiac function (detectable or not), fails to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues or is able to do so only with an elevated diastolic filling pressure. ECG and echocardiography

    12 months

  • acute coronary syndrome

    non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) and unstable angina. ECG and cardiac damage markers

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Target vessel revascularisation

    12 months

  • stent thrombosis,

    12 months

  • stroke

    12 months

  • transient ischaemic attack

    12 months

Study Arms (2)

STEMI TA hyperglycemic subjects

STEMI hyperglycemic patients, percutaneous coronary intervention with TA

Device: percutaneous coronary intervention

STEMI without TA hyperglycemic subjects

STEMI hyperglycemic patients, percutaneous coronary intervention without TA

Device: percutaneous coronary intervention

Interventions

Percutaneous coronary intervention. Procedures include: Implantation of stents The thrombus aspiration (TA) will be started before crossing the coronary atherosclerosis lesion. A minimum of two syringes (40 mL) of aspirate will be recommended. The guide catheter will be engaged with the coronary ostia when removing the thrombectomy catheter. The guide catheter will be aspirated after thrombectomy to avoid embolisation of air or thrombus. PCI procedure will be done without thrombectomy as per the investigator. Direct stenting will not be mandated in either treatment group. Bailout thrombectomy will be allowed after a failure of the initial PCI alone strategy. The decision about bailout thrombectomy will be made by the interventional cardiologist performing the initial PCI.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

We will analyze the consecutive patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and ST segment elevation (STEMI) admitted to the Department of Cardiology of the Cardarelli Hospital in Naples, Italy. Inclusion criteria will include: age of 18 years or greater, presentation to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for PCI in the setting of first STEMI, admission plasma glucose level ( \>140 mg/dl in hyperglycemic Group). All STEMI patients will be referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory within 12 h of presentation. Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 25%, with previous myocardial infarction or previous PCI or/and coronary by-pass grafting will be excluded.

You may qualify if:

  • \- age of 18 years or greater, presentation to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for PCI in the setting of first STEMI, admission plasma glucose level ( \>140 mg/dl in hyperglycemic Group).

You may not qualify if:

  • \- patients with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 25%, with previous myocardial infarction or previous PCI or/and coronary by-pass grafting.
