Summary

Myocardial damage occurs in up to 40% of cases when sensitive biomarkers are measured after coronary artery stenting. Such events have been associated with poor outcomes both at 30 days and long term. The cause of such damage is multi-factorial and includes distal propagation of atheromatous and thrombotic debris and the subsequent infiltration of the microcirculation with inflammatory cells. Individually or together these events can occlude the micro-circulation and lead impaired blood flow to heart muscle.

The vasodilator adenosine is commonly used in cases of impaired flow in an endeavor to improve flow rate and limit myocardial damage. Unfortunately the efficacy of this therapy is limited. More recently, there have been clinical studies looking at the administration of adenosine before any potential damage by ballooning or stenting, in an effort to avoid poor distal flow post procedure and thus limit any myocardial damage. Although small numbers of subjects have been included in these trials, there have been encouraging preliminary data.

The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of intra-coronary adenosine given directly into the target coronary artery prior to stenting can reduce the incidence of myonecrosis (heart muscle damage)over placebo. We also aim to assess whether this translates to better outcomes at 30 day follow up.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Adenosine

For lesions in the left coronary system the patient will receive either 120 micrograms of adenosine in 20 mls of normal saline or placebo prior to the wiring, pre-dilatation, stenting and post-dilatation of the target coronary stenosis. For lesions in the right coronary system the patient will receive either 60 micrograms of adenosine in 10 mls of normal saline or placebo prior to the wiring, pre-dilatation, stenting and post-dilatation of the target coronary stenosis.
