Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Men or non-pregnant women >18 years of age and 2. Patients with NSTEMI will be included. NSTEMI will be defined as a progressive crescendo pattern of angina or angina at rest, in the absence of ST-segment elevation on the 12-lead ECG, with elevated cardiac markers. 3.Culprit lesion located in a native coronary artery 4.TIMI flow grade 3 and cross-sectional lumen area > 1.9 mm2 by OCT 5.Erosion defined by OCT 6.Patients able to provide written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Known depressed left ventricular function (ejection fraction 2. Life expectancy 3.Contraindication to contrast media 4.Creatinine level > 2.0 mg/dL or end-stage kidney disease 5.Serious liver dysfunction 6.Patients with hemodynamic or electrical instability (including shock) 7.Any contraindication against the use of ticagrelor, tirofiban, aspirin, or heparin 8.Investigator considers the patient is not suitable
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint for this study will be the thrombus burden at 1-month follow-up OCT. The OCT based detection and measurement of total thrombus burden, as measured by the volume of intracoronary thrombus, will be assessed by planimetry prior to PCI at baseline and at 1-month follow up. We hypothesize that at least 50% of the treated patients will show reduced thrombus burden by 50%Timepoint: 1 MONTH | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints are (1) to prospectively study the incidence of plaque erosion by OCT in vivo in the Indian population, (2) to compare the incidence of more than 50% reduction in thrombus burden between the groups, (3) to establish CTA criteria equivalent to CSA of 1.9 mm2 on OCT, and (4) to discover biomarkers specific to plaque erosion.Timepoint: 1 month | — |
