About this study

Official title: Evidence of the Advantages of Preoperative Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in Surgical Revascularization of Acute Myocardial Infarction

The optimal timing of surgery in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the utilization of preoperative intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) in these patients are subjects of ongoing discussion and disagreement. This study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative IABP on troponin levels, surgical timing, and intraoperative and postoperative outcomes for patients with AMI who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Read the detailed description

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the first treatment for myocardial ischemia; however, if left main coronary artery disease, multivessel disease, or complex architecture disable PCI, 10% of patients may need coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Abstinence from surgical reperfusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may be justified due to surgery's 50% mortality rate. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) can help patients who have ongoing ischemia and high cardiac enzymes because it changes the way the heart uses oxygen by increasing coronary blood flow and lowering afterload. Some guidelines do not recommend the use of IABP in patients with AMI except for mechanical complications or shock. Nevertheless, it is commonly acknowledged that the specific criteria for employing IABP differ among clinics and are determined by clinical expertise. Patients with AMI who have impaired coronary perfusion and require surgical revascularization can benefit from preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support. This intervention leads to reorganization of coronary perfusion, resulting in a decrease in elevated troponin levels and quicker myocardial recovery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Also called Datascope Corp. model:The CS300 with IntelliSense combines fiber-optic

    It will be applied to patients with acute myocardial infarction who have elevated troponin levels and recurrent or persistent chest pain at rest, hemodynamic instability, multivascular disease, left main coronary artery disease, and patients with narrow and/or tortuous coronary artery anatomy in whom PCI has failed or is not applicable.

What is being measured

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

  1. High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Levels From Days 0-7

    Daily repeated measurements of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTnI) on the ng/mL scale were compared between the two groups. The study hypothesizes that hs-cTnI levels decrease more rapidly in participants receiving IABP support compared to those without IABP. This decrease is posited to reflect a myocardial healing process.

    Measured: 0-7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. In-hospital Mortality

    Deaths occurring in the first 30 days after the operation have been defined as mortality.

    Measured: 0-30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-aortic Balloon Pump in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ataturk University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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 27 Feb 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?

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Levels From Days 0-7 (time frame: 0-7 days). 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 27 Feb 2025.
