No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The size of a heart attack will be decreased by the use of timed balloon inflations to open the blocked blood vessel.

Conditions

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Post conditioning

after 30 seconds of re-established coronary flow following the therapeutic balloon dilatation and deflation, the same balloon will be re-inflated for 30 seconds and then again deflated for 30 seconds. This procedure of balloon inflation/deflation will be performed a total of 3 to 4 times.

PROCEDURE

Usual Care for STEMI

Usual care for treatment of TIMI 0 to TIMI 1 flow in occluded infarct related artery. Usual care includes reperfusion of the artery per operator discretion, i.e. primary stenting, thrombectomy, balloon inflation/deflation without timed intervals.
