Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) Patients with cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction (2) Patients with right ventricular infarction (3) Patients with the left main trunk or two or more coronary arteries responsible (4) Patients with myocardial infarction due to coronary spasm (5) Patients with a history or comorbidity of any of the following Unstable angina before myocardial infarction History of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) History of cardiomyopathy History of Brugada syndrome Atrioventricular block greater than degree II Patients on maintenance dialysis Use of implantable pacemakers, ICD, CRT, or CRT-D (6) Patients with a heart rate of 50/min or less after PCI (7) Patients with cardiac or vascular structures that make placement of the investigational device technically difficult (8) Patients with malignant tumors (9) Patients with uncontrolled inflammatory disease (10) Diabetic patients taking insulin (11) Pregnant women, lactating women, or patients who cannot consent to contraception during study participation (12) Patients with contraindications to the use of investigational devices (13) Patients contraindicated for anticoagulant therapy (14) Patients with gastrointestinal, urinary, or central nervous system bleeding within the past 2 months (15) Patients who have difficulty performing the tests required in this clinical trial (e.g. claustrophobia, MRI not possible due to eGFR less than 30, etc.) (16) Patients scheduled for major surgery within 12 weeks after placement of the investigational device (17) Patients whose follow-up for 12 weeks from the date of placement of the investigational device is presumed to be difficult (18) Patients participating in other clinical trials or interventional studies at the time of eligibility determination (19) Patients other than the above who are judged by the investigator to be inappropriate for participation in the clinical trial

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of events, irrespective of whether or not they are related to the study device (from device placement to 1 day after removal) Fatal ventricular arrhythmias, ventricular pacing, severe hemorrhage, cardiac death, shock, stroke, complete atrioventricular block, and other fatal cardiovascular events

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy endpoint (1) MRI (6 days, 12 weeks after placement of the study device) Evaluation index: Infarction size, Myocardial salvage index, EF, left ventricle end-diastolic volume, ventricular weight (2) Peak value and area under curve value of myocardial enzymes (CK-MB and troponin T) (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 48, 72 hours after placement of the study device) (3) Changes in echocardiography (left ventricular end-diastolic volume and EF) (8 days and 12 weeks after placement of the investigational device) (4) Changes in BNP (8 days and 12 weeks after placement of the investigational device) (5) Changes in heart rate before and during nerve stimulation Safety endpoint (1) Blood count/blood biochemistry test (GOT, LDH, BUN, Cre, Na, K, Cl, RBC, Hb, Ht, WBC, PLT) (1, 2, 3, 4, 8 days, 1 day after removal of the study device) (2) D-dimer (1, 2, 3, 4 days after placement of the investigational device) (3) Jugular vein echo (presence of thrombus, presence of stenosis/occlusion) (4) Investigational device placement completion rate (completion: placement for 72 hours or longer) (5) Adverse events (device placement to 7 days after removal) Anticipated adverse events: cough, tracheal spasm, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, symptomatic bradycardia, new atrial fibrillation, atrial arrhythmia (including pacing-induced), nonfatal ventricular arrhythmia, phrenic nerve stimulation , chest spasm, chest pain, hypotension, vascular injury, vascular stenosis, vascular perforation, infection, pulmonary embolism, hemorrhage, venous occlusion, pneumothorax, hemothorax, arterial puncture, air embolism, other serious cardiovascular events (6) Malfunction of the investigational device
