Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oxford Acute Myocardial Infarction - Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (NCT NCT03473015)

NCT ID: NCT03473015

Last Updated: 2023-11-14

Results Overview

Assessment of coronary microvascular status using IMR IMR is calculated as the product of distal coronary pressure and transit time of bolus of saline during hyperaemic condition. It is a continuous variable that can range from to infinite value. Despite technically it represents a product of pressure in mmHg and time (seconds), by convention it is expressed in Units. A normal IMR value is accepted to be \< 25 U, however in STEMI patients (as in the cohort reported in the study) an IMR \> 40 U is associated to worse clinical outcome

Participant Flow

OxAMI-PICSO is a single-centre, investigator-initiated study, prospectively enrolling patients with anterior STEMI admitted for pPCI at the Oxford Heart Centre from July 2015 to September 2017.

Patients with pre-stenting IMR ≤40 units and patients with an IMR \>40 unwilling to be treated with PICSO or in case of PICSO unavailability were enrolled in the parallel running observational Oxford Acute Myocardial Infarction (OxAMI) study (REC 10/H0408/24)2. Between December 2015-September 2016, OxAMI-PICSO was paused due to an expired CE mark on the device, requiring a new submission to the local ethics committee for approval, which ultimately allowed resumption of recruitment.

Measure
PICSO Treatment Group
STEMI patients with elevated pre-stenting index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) greater than 40 units treated with pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PICSO) PICSO: The PICSO Impulse catheter is a 8F double lumen catheter with a 15.5x20mm long balloon at the distal end. The balloon inflates and deflates cyclically once deployed in the coronary sinus, leading to intermitted coronary sinus pressure increase. The catheter is connected to the console through two pneumatic tubes in which helium is shuttled to and from the balloon. In addition, the coronary sinus pressure is monitored through the center lumen of the catheter.
Pre-stenting IMR ≤ 40 Group
STEMI patients with pre-stenting index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) equal or less than 40 units not treated with pressure-controlled intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PICSO)

Infarct size measured by Cardiac magnetic resonance Infarct size is measured at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging scan and is expressed as hyperhanced core after gadolinium contrast dye injection. Infarct size is measured in gram of myocardial tissue and for standardization typically expressed and reported as percentage of whole left ventricular myocardial mass.
