Brief summary

Adenosine has never been studied in coronary angioplasty in the setting of non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. With promising observations of the benefits of adenosine in both elective and primary angioplasty settings, we hypothesise that intracoronary adenosine may prevent myocyte death (periprocedural myonecrosis) in this groups of patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. We hypothesise that pretreatment with a intracoronary bolus dose of adenosine before coronary angioplasty decreases the amount of periprocedural myonecrosis in patients with non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome

Interventions

Intracoronary adenosine, 4mg (ADENOCOR)made up with 4mls of normal saline, as a single bolus dose.
