About this study

Patients with partially blocked blood vessel(s) in their heart may need a medical procedure called "Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)" to open the narrowed blood vessel(s). The purpose of this study is to simultaneously address four potential advances in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) care for patients at least 65 years old. The investigators are looking to see if these advances can improve the outcome for these patients.

  1. Opening the arteries with a Medtronic stent
  2. Radial access (from wrist) success with a Medtronic stent
  3. Checking the percent of blockage in the diseased artery/arteries using Volcano guide wires.
  4. Reduced bleeding and vascular complications with radial arterial access for primary PCI in STEMI.
Read the detailed description

Multicenter, randomized, open-label, unblinded, active and historical-controlled trial in which approximately 875 seniors undergoing urgent PCI from approximately 70 centers will be enrolled. All consented subjects will undergo attempted radial arterial access.

For DES (Drug Eluting Stent) eligible patients without randomization exclusion criteria and with multi-vessel disease identified during initial angiogram will be randomized by site in a ratio of 1:1 to IRA-only revascularization or iFR-guided complete revascularization. After randomization, subjects with stable TIMI-3 flow established in the IRA using the protocol specified treatment will proceed with the randomized procedure. Subjects in whom IRA reperfusion with TIMI-3 flow is not achieved will be treated according to clinical best practice standard of care independent of randomized procedure assignment and will not be considered protocol violations. These patients will be followed identically to all study patients.

After stent implantation, subjects will be contacted for follow-up at 30 days by the enrolling site and at 1 year by the DCRI Call Center.

Primary endpoint results will be reported after all subjects have completed 1 year (12 months) of clinical follow-up.

STEMI patients eligible for radial access:

  • DES Eligible with single vessel Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) will receive DES to IRA
  • DES Eligible with Multi-vessel CAD will randomize 1:1 to IRA-only revascularization or Instantaneous Wave Free Radio (iFR)-guided complete revascularization
Being tested
Single Vessel Disease, Multi-vessel Disease, Culprit Vessel Only, Multi-vessel Disease, Complete Revascularization, Medtronic Resolute family of stents, Volcano based pressure wires Verrata, Verrata Plus and any subsequent marketed Volcano pressure wire technology

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single Vessel Disease, Multi-vessel Disease, Culprit Vessel Only and Multi-vessel Disease, Complete Revascularization in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by David Kong, M.D. at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2025. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Apr 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adjudicated 1-year Infarct-related Artery Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Event (MACE) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Apr 2025.
