About this study

Official title: Study of ABSORB Stent in Acute Coronary Syndrome

The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes at 30 days and 1 year (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), thrombosis of the device in patients who are undergoing angioplasty in myocardial infarction and in which bioabsorbable stent was implanted (BVS). Additionally, we will evaluate the acute recoil after implantation of bioabsorbable stents. A 24 months follow-up , by means of coronary angiography accompanied by QCA and assessment with intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS) and VH (virtual histology) is scheduled.

Read the detailed description

The drug -eluting stents (drug eluting stents , DES) are currently used routinely in the course of coronary angioplasty ( percutaneous coronary intervention , PCI ) and have significantly reduced the incidence of adverse events during follow-up in the medium and long term .

However, the persistence of the metal structure of these devices within the coronary artery over time adds no additional benefit but , on the contrary , it is potentially harmful because it may predispose to coronary thrombosis even after years of implantation, can alter the structure of the vessel for remodeling phenomena, can decrease a coronary vasomotion and reducing the possibilily of a future surgery. The recent development of new devices such as bioabsorbable vascular scaffold " BVS " release of antiproliferative drug ( everolimus ), could provide new clinical advantages especially in patients who are revascularized during acute myocardial infarction. These patients are at higher risk of MACE and stent thrombosis late .

The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes conventional to 30 days and 1 year, such as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization(TLR ), target vessel revascularization (TVR ), thrombosis of the device in patients who undergo angioplasty in the course of acute coronary syndrome and in which it was implanted bioabsorbable stent ( BVS ). The acute recoil after implantation of bioresorbable vascular scaffold will also be assessed Finally, a follow-up of 24 months we will conduct, by means of coronary angiography accompanied by QCA and IVUS with VH .

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MACE (Death, MI, TLR and TVR)

    Measured: One year after index procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acute stent Recoil

    Evaluation of acute recoil after implantation of bioabsorbable stent (BVS).

    Measured: Within ten minutes after scaffold implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction and Artery; Deformity, Coronary (Acquired), run by Umberto I Hospital, Frosinone Italy at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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.

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?

Contact Maurizio Menichelli, MD (+393382642317, menichelli747@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MACE (Death, MI, TLR and TVR) (time frame: One year 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 25 Feb 2014.
