Brief Summary

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is mostly caused by the rupture or the erosion of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, initiating with intraluminal thrombosis and resulting in total occlusion of the coronary artery. Thrombus formation is a complex and dynamic process involving flow, blood cells and several plasma proteins, and it has not been clearly elucidated. To define - through proteomic approach - the composition of occluding thrombus and its time changes in patients with STEMI, trying to identify novel biomarkers of coronary thrombosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change through time in thrombus proteomic composition

    Compare concentrations of different protein types in the supernatant of thrombus from patients with STEMI\<3hs vs \<3hs, through proteomic approaches

    within 24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Elapsed time of onset-of-pain-to-PCI <3 hours

Patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to 3 hours from the onset of symptoms

Other: Time from the onset of symptoms to PCI

Elapsed time of onset-of-pain-to-PCI >3 hours

Patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after at least 3 hours from the onset of symptoms

Other: Time from the onset of symptoms to PCI

Interventions

Patients will be divided in two groups according to the time from the onset of symptoms to PCI

Elapsed time of onset-of-pain-to-PCI <3 hoursElapsed time of onset-of-pain-to-PCI >3 hours

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

A consecutive series of patients admitted for an ACS, with either STEMI and occluded infarct-related artery or NSTEMI and visible thrombus in the culprit artery will be deemed suitable for thrombus aspiration. PCI will be performed with a standard procedure, with either femoral or radial access.

You may qualify if:

  • patients with STEMI and occluded infarct-related artery or NSTEMI and visible thrombus deemed suitable for thrombus aspiration

You may not qualify if:

  • thrombus aspiration not performed or unsuccessfull
