NCT03129503

Brief Summary

The OPTICO-ACS- study program - combining for the first time in vivo characterization of the ACS-causing "culprit lesion" by intracoronary imaging technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of immune-cells derived from the culprit coronary thrombus and biochemical analyses in patients with acute-coronary-syndrome (ACS).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

ACS Patients at Charité University Hospital including all sites * Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF) * Campus Virchow Klinikum (CVK) * Campus Mitte (CCM)

You may qualify if:

  • Men and Women (aim: consecutive)
  • Age 18 to 85 years old.
  • ACS as trigger event - (ESC guidelines) being:
  • Acute cardiac chest pain or angina equivalent consistent with moderate to high-risk unstable angina or myocardial infarction, lasting more than 10 minutes duration during 72 hours before invasive examination AND
  • Evidence for ACS requiring catheterization documented by a) elevated enzymes (CK-MB or hs-Troponin I/T \> 99th percentile or in-/decrease) AND/OR
  • ECG with ST-depression \>1mm in 2 or more contiguous leads after the J-point AND/OR transient ST-elevation \>1mm in 2 or more contiguous leads lasting \<30 min OR c) STE-ACS with onset \< 24 hours previously and chest pain \>30 min ST-elevation \>1mm in 2 or more contiguous leads or new left bundle block.
  • Written informed consent
  • Patients must have at least coronary one-vessel disease with one angiographically detectable "culprit lesion" (or in case of more \> 1 lesion all lesions have to be in one "culprit vessel") in a native coronary vessel requiring PCI. Identification of this lesion as the "culprit lesion" has to be in line with other non-invasive findings (ECG-leads; regional wall motion abnormalities in echocardiography). Other "non-culprit-lesions" are allowed to have significant stenosis requiring interventional revascularization in a staged procedure.

You may not qualify if:

  • Active pregnancy.
  • Active sepsis.
  • Acute psychotic disease.
  • Known systolic heart failure with left-ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF≤ 30 %).
  • Cardiogenic shock or heart failure requiring intubation, inotropes; diuretics or mechanical circulation support.
  • Refractory ventricular arrhythmia requiring pharmacologic or defibrillator therapy.
  • Patients who had received heart transplantation or any other organ transplant or are on waiting list.
  • Renal insufficiency with serum-creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dl.
  • Patients with other medical illness (i.e. cancer) or recent history of substance abuse, that may cause non-compliance with the investigational plan, confound the data interpretation or is associated with an anticipated limited life-expectancy less than one year.
  • Prior participation in this study or in other investigational studies, that have not reached its primary endpoint.
  • Unprotected left main- CAD with ≥ 50% stenosis.
  • ACS with culprit lesion in a bypass graft or ACS caused by stent-thrombosis.
  • Extent and severity of CAD is such that investigator believes it is likely that bypass surgery will be required within 1 year of enrollment.
  • No suitable anatomy of "culprit lesion" for OCT:
  • severe calcification or extreme tortuosity of "culprit lesion".
  • +3 more criteria
