NCT04663932

Brief Summary

This prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical study has a target enrollment of 240 subjects. It will explore whether STEMI patients transferred to a PCI center following thrombolytic therapy and expected to have stent implantation might benefit from an alternative treatment strategy and the use of new technologies designed to improve myocardial protection throughout the medical care process.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues-TIMI flow grade 3

    Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues: TIMI flow grade 3 and TMP grade 3 and complete ST resolution on an ECG at 60 minutes after study intervention (STR ≥ 70%). For the immediate stenting group, the TIMI flow grade will be evaluated immediately after stent implantation. For the deferred stenting group, the TIMI flow grade will be evaluated after the first and second operations.

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues-TMP grade 3

    Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues: TIMI flow grade 3 and TMP grade 3 and complete ST resolution on an ECG at 60 minutes after study intervention (STR ≥ 70%). For the immediate stenting group, the TMP grade will be evaluated immediately after stent implantation. For the deferred stenting group, the TMP grade will be evaluated after the first and second operations.

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues-complete ST resolution on an ECG

    Complete microvascular perfusion of subepicardial and myocardial tissues: TIMI flow grade 3 and TMP grade 3 and complete ST resolution on an ECG at 60 minutes after study intervention (STR ≥ 70%). All patients will have an 18-lead ECG within 60 minutes after PCI.

    within 60 minutes after PCI.

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • TIMI flow grade for infarct-related arteries

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grade for infarct-related arteries

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • Measurement of ST resolution on an ECG

    60 minutes after PCI

  • TIMI myocardial blush grade (MBG) for infarct-related arteries

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • Corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC) for infarct-related arteries

    one minute after the end of the each procedure

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • All-cause death

    1, 6, and 12 months

  • New or aggravated heart failure NYHA class IV

    1, 6, and 12 months

  • Non-fatal re-infarction or revascularization of any acute infarct-related artery

    1, 6, and 12 months

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

immediate stenting group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients assigned to the immediate stenting group will undergo appropriate stent implantation based on characteristics of the lesions.

Procedure: immediate stenting group(one-step strategy)

deferred stenting group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients assigned to the deferred stenting group will be sent back to the ward after PCI to receive standard anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies, and the CAG will be repeated 5 to 7 days after initial intervention, followed by treatment with stent implantation.

Procedure: deferred stenting group (two-step strategy)

Interventions

Patients assigned to the immediate stenting group will undergo appropriate stent implantation based on characteristics of the lesions.

Also known as: Immediate Angioplasty
immediate stenting group

Patients assigned to the deferred stenting group will be sent back to the ward after PCI to receive standard anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies, and the CAG will be repeated 5 to 7 days after initial intervention, followed by treatment with stent implantation.

Also known as: Delayed angioplasty
deferred stenting group

Model Details: Eligible patients with STEMI who meet the Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria will receive thrombolytic therapy, and then be transferred to the PCI center for coronary angiography (CAG). Patients having a target vessel with TIMI grade 3 flow as shown by CAG, and and ≥ 50% angiographic stenosis after thrombus aspiration, will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either an immediate stenting group or a deferred stenting group. Patients assigned to the immediate stenting group will undergo appropriate stent implantation based on characteristics of the lesions. Patients assigned to the deferred stenting group will be sent back to the ward after PCI to receive standard anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies, and the CAG will be repeated 5 to 7 days after initial intervention, followed by treatment with stent implantation.
