About this study

The present study was designed to investigate whether the thrombus aspiration using Export Aspiration Catheter (Medtronic Corporation, California, USA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction improve clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred strategy for immediate revascularization in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A meta-analysis of trials comparing primary PCI to fibrinolytic therapy showed a mortality benefit to the invasive approach. However, although TIMI III flow is achieved in the culprit epicardial vessel in the majority of patients, lack of tissue-level reperfusion is observed in approximately 30% of patients as manifested by persistence of chest pain and ST-segment elevation. Many strategies have tried to overcome this problem, from mechanical thrombectomy and distal protection devices to myocardial preserving agents. The purpose of present study is to investigate the efficacy of the thrombus aspiration using Export Aspiration Catheter (Medtronic Corporation, California, USA) during primary PCI in acute myocardial infarction.

  3. Myocardial infarction(Q or non-Q)

    Measured: 1 month until 12 months after index procedure

  4. Stent thrombosis by Academic Research Consortium definition

    Measured: 1 month until 12 months after index procedure

  5. Target vessel revascularization (clinically- and ischemia-driven)

    Measured: 1 month until 12 months after index procedure

  6. Target lesion revascularization (clinically- and ischemia-driven)

    Measured: 1 month until 12 months after index procedure

  7. Post-procedural Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade

    Measured: Day 0 (during PCI procedure)

  8. Post-procedural Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Perfusion (TMP) grades

    Measured: Day 0 (during PCI procedure)

  9. Left ventricular wall motion improvement

    Measured: 12 months

  10. ST segment resolution on ECG after procedure

    Measured: 0 hour (at the end of procedure), 1 hour, and 24 hours after PCI procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Endeavor resolute or Resolute integrity (Medtronic) and Export Aspiration Catheter, Endeavor resolute or Resolute integrity (Medtronic) in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 27 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The composite of cardiac death, Q-wave myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization (time frame: 12 months after index procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Apr 2013.
