ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to elucidate the efficacy and safety of pharmacoinvasive therapy by using prourokinase (prouk), a unique fibrin-specific agent, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Interventions
a bolus of 1.2 million IU and an infusion of 4.8 million IU in 60 min.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* age 75 years or younger, symptom onset 6 h or less before randomization, intention to undertake primary PCI, ST-segment elevation of 2 mm or more in two anterior leads or of 1 mm or more in two inferior leads if they had ST-segment elevation, or new left bundle-branch block.
Exclusion criteria
* expected arrival at the catheterization laboratory less than 1 h or more than 3 h after randomization, anticipated problems with vascular access, previous enrollment to other studies, and the usual contraindications to thrombolytic therapy.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| angiographic parameters which can demonstrate the myocardium reperfusion, including TIMI flow grade (grade I-III), TIMI frame count (frame) and myocardial blush grade (MBG,grade 0-3). | 90 minutes after prourokinase bolus |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| major adverse cardiac events [MACE, defined as the composite of all cause-death, reinfarction, revascularization (including target vessel and non-target vessel revascularizations), or rehospitalization due to new or worsening congestive heart failure] | 12 month after enrollment |
