Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Quantitation of infarct size will be done using a modification of University Hospital's 4DM SPECT quantitation software [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Echocardiograms will be analyzed to evaluate left ventricular function. Standard techniques will be used to quantitate ejection fraction and the percentage of left ventricular circumference that is hypokinetic or dyskinetic. [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Venous blood samples troponin, CPK. This will be done to follow enzyme release and washout, and area data will be available and infarct size/risk area ratios in control and post-conditioning subjects will be compared. [ Time Frame: baseline, every 8 hours x 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • ECG ST segment resolution immediate post PCI, and daily x 3. [ Time Frame: baseline, up to 3 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 30
Study Start Date: March 2008
Primary Completion Date: May 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Post conditioning
After 30 seconds of re-established coronary flow following the therapeutic balloon dilatation and deflation, the same balloon will be re-inflated for 30 seconds and then again deflated for 30 seconds. The balloon should be inflated to only occlude the coronary artery. This procedure of balloon inflation/deflation will be performed a total of 3 to 4 times.
Procedure: Post conditioning
after 30 seconds of re-established coronary flow following the therapeutic balloon dilatation and deflation, the same balloon will be re-inflated for 30 seconds and then again deflated for 30 seconds. This procedure of balloon inflation/deflation will be performed a total of 3 to 4 times.
Active Comparator: Usual Care
Usual care for treatment of TIMI 0 to TIMI 1 flow in occluded infarct related artery. Usual care includes reperfusion of the artery per operator discretion, i.e. primary stenting, thrombectomy, balloon inflation/deflation without timed intervals.
Procedure: Usual Care for STEMI
Usual care for treatment of TIMI 0 to TIMI 1 flow in occluded infarct related artery. Usual care includes reperfusion of the artery per operator discretion, i.e. primary stenting, thrombectomy, balloon inflation/deflation without timed intervals.

Detailed Description:

The intervention of "post conditioning" at the time of reperfusion, in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), will attenuate the degree of ischemia-reperfusion injury, as manifested by infarct size. This intervention is hypothesized to be safe in humans.
