The objective of this international, multicenter, randomized study is to assess whether coronary artery stenting is associated with a reduced infarct size in patients with AMI presenting between 12 and 48 hours after onset of symptoms compared to medical treatment alone

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Interventional treatment group

Patients assigned to PCI will receive the loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg), 500 mg aspirin plus a bolus of 70 U/kg heparin i.v. and be transferred immediately for interventional treatment. They will receive abciximab as a bolus of 0.25 mg/Kg of body weight followed by a continuous infusion of 0.125 µg/Kg/minute (up to a maximal dose of 10 µg/minute) for 12 hours. All patients will undergo coronary angiography and left ventriculography in the conventional way. During the procedure patients will receive the weight-adjusted heparin doses (70 U/ kg). Post-procedural antithrombotic therapy will consist of clopidogrel in a daily dose of 75 mg for at least 4 weeks (6 months recommended) and aspirin, 100 mg to 350 mg daily, indefinitely.

OTHER

Conservative treatment group

Patients assigned to this group will receive the usual therapy in the intensive care unit of the admitting hospital according to local standards. Per protocol, all patients in this arm will receive a loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg) followed by 75 mg/day for at least 4 weeks (6 months recommended) after randomization and aspirin, indefinitely. Recommended additional regimen will include heparin, ß-blockers, ACE inhibitors and statins
