Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: All patients presenting with an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and suitable for primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI). The protocol requires visualization, thrombus aspiration and pre-dilatation of the culprit lesion before inclusion.;Acute myocardial infarction eligible for PPCI: • > 20 min of chest-pain and at least 1 mm ST-elevation in at least two contiguous leads, a new left bundle branch block or a true posterior myocardial infarction (confirmed by ECG or echocardiography) • reperfusion is expected to be feasible within 12 hours after onset of complaints Infarct related artery eligible for PPCI and: • De novo lesion in a native coronary artery • Reference-vessel diameter >= 2.5mm and 50% (by visual assessment) after thrombus aspiration and pre-dilatation.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Age 75 years • History of myocardial infarction • Known contraindication/resistance for bivalirudin, fondaparinux, heparin, aspirin, prasugrel and/or ticagrelor. • Participation in another clinical study, interfering with this protocol • Uncertain neurological outcome e.g. resuscitation • Intubation/ventilation • Cardiogenic shock prior to randomization • Known intracranial disease (mass, aneurysm, AVM, hemorrhagic CVA, ischemic CVA/TIA
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is fractional flow reserve (FFR) at 9 months angiographic follow-up. FFR is the ratio of mean coronary pressure distal of the treated lesion to mean aortic pressure during maximum hyperemia. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Angiographic endpoints: - Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) - TIMI coronary flow - laesion specific aspects STsegment resolution on ECG Clinical endpoints - MACE: major adverse coronary events, such as cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction in treated vessel, recurrent revasularization of infarct-related laesion - stent thrombosis - major bleedings | — |
