Assessment of Lumen Expansion After Thrombus Extraction in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

NCT01878487 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2015-10-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To use IVUS to assess (1) culprit plaque morphology and thrombus burden in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction; (2) the efficacy of thrombus removal with an aspiration catheter in 40 patients during primary PCI.

Conditions

  • Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

DEVICE

Thrombus aspiration (Intravascular Ultrasound catheter (Boston))

There is a single arm in the study where all patients are undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for an acute myocardial infarction. All patients will have an Intravascular Ultrasound three times: 1. At baseline 2. After thrombus aspiration with a thrombus extraction catheter 3. After stent deployment We are however assessing the physiological response of patients having an acute myocardial infarction and this is not a test of the devices as such.
