Conditions

ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the efficacy of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA non-inferior to intracoronary Tirofiban for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients wiht high thrombus burden? * Does intracoronary rhTNK-tPA increase the incidence of bleeding events? This multicenter RCT study plans to enroll 300 patients, who are randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban by 1:1. The primary efficacy endpoint was post-PCI corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Major adverse events (death, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) were observed at 1 year follow-up.

Interventions

DRUGrhTNK-tPA, 4-8 mg

Intracoronary influsion of rhTNK-tPA (4 mg). After 10 minutes of administration, 4 mg may be given again if the thrombus burden is not significantly reduced.

DRUGTirofiban

Intracoronary influsion of Tirofiban (10 µg/kg) , and then administered intravenously at 0.075-0.15 µg/kg.min for 36 h or longer
