Electroacupuncture for slow flow/no-reflow phenomenon in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1401269. [PMID: 38957330 PMCID: PMC11218819 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1401269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Slow flow/no-reflow (SF-NR) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with poor prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Currently, effective treatment is not available for SF-NR. Electroacupuncture (EA) has shown significant efficacy as an adjuvant therapy for many cardiovascular diseases by improving microcirculation and reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, its effects on SF-NR in the AMI patients during PCI are not clear. This pilot trial aims to determine the efficacy of intraoperative EA in alleviating SF-NR in AMI patients undergoing PCI. Methods This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled, pilot trial will recruit 60 AMI patients scheduled for PCI at the Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, China. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into the EA or the control groups. Patients in the control group will undergo standard PCI. Patients in the EA group will undergo intraoperative electroacupuncture while undergoing standard PCI. Incidence of SF-NR is the primary outcome for this study. This study will also assess secondary outcomes including cardiac biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, pain and anxiety scores, electrocardiography parameters, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). All the included patients will undergo laboratory tests including routine blood tests, levels of electrolytes, as well as liver and renal function tests. Patients will be followed up for 1 month after the procedure. Discussion This pilot trial will provide evidence for the potential benefits of intraoperative EA in improving microvascular perfusion and preventing or alleviating SF-NR during PCI in patients with AMI. If proven effective, intraoperative EA will provide a new and effective strategy against SF-NR and provide evidence for subsequent multicenter trials. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier (ChiCTR2300072265). Registered on 8 June 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable marker of insulin resistance, was associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TyG index for mortality in elderly non-diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS In total, 430 non-diabetic patients aged over 65 years with STEMI were consecutively included. The TyG index was calculated by using the following formula: TyG index = ln (fasting triglyceride × fasting glucose/2). The 5-item modified frailty index score was utilized to determine comorbidities. Patients were divided into three groups based on TyG index tertiles. RESULTS Patients included into high TyG index tertile were male and had higher body mass index, glucose, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 5-item modified frailty index and GRACE risk score; and had low systolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate and left ventricular ejection fraction. A one-unit increase in TyG index was associated with 3.03 extra cases per 1000 person-day for in-hospital mortality and 0.29 extra cases per 1000 person-day for long-term mortality. There was a non-linear relationship between TyG index and the risk of mortality with an increased risk above 8.5 for TyG index. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed that patients in high TyG index tertile had higher in-hospital and long-term mortality rates than those in low TyG index tertile. CONCLUSIONS This was the first study to demonstrate that the TyG index could predict in-hospital and long-term mortality in elderly non-diabetic STEMI patients.

Abstract
Background Symptom-to-balloon time (SBT) represents the total ischemic time in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is associated with poor long-term outcomes. The study aimed to explore the association between SBT and in-hospital mortality after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute STEMI. Methods This retrospective, multicenter, observational study included patients admitted to the Hebei General Hospital, Baoding No. 1 Central Hospital, and Cangzhou Central Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018. The outcome was all-cause mortality during the hospital stay. Logistic regression models were established to explore the association between SBT and all-cause mortality during the hospital stay. Results This study included 1169 patients: 876 males of 59.6 ± 11.4 years of age, and 293 females 66.3 ± 13.3 years of age. A first analysis showed EF had an interaction with SBT (P = 0.01). In patients with EF ≥ 50%, SBT was not an independent risk factor for postoperative all-cause mortality in the hospital (all P > 0.05). In patients with EF < 50%, SBT was an independent risk factor for postoperative all-cause mortality in the hospital [model 3: 1.51 (1.17, 1.54), P for trend = 0.01]. Conclusions SBT was independently associated with all-cause mortality in the hospital after PCI in patients with acute STEMI and EF < 50%. Specifically, the risk of in-hospital mortality for those with SBT ≥ 361 min is increased by 51% compared with those with SBT ≤ 120 min.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The presence of intracoronary thrombus is associated with adverse events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). PRECISE-DAPT score is used to detect the bleeding risk in STEMI patients who are on dual antiplatelet therapy. Recently, the PRECISE-DAPT score was shown to be related to cardiovascular events. We aimed to investigate the association of PRECISE-DAPT score with thrombus burden in patients with STEMI. METHODS A retrospective analysis with 204 STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention was conducted in this study. Thrombus burden grade and PRECISE-DAPT score were calculated for each subject. Patients were divided into two groups as high thrombus burden (HTB) (grade 4, 5) and low thrombus burden (LTB) (grade 1, 2 and 3) based on thrombus burden grade. The PRECISE-DAPT scores were compared between thrombus burden groups. RESULTS The mean age in HTB (N = 136) was 63.7 (11.3), and 64.7% were male. HTB had a higher PRECISE-DAPT score than LTB (p < .0001). PRECISE-DAPT score, baseline troponin I levels, ejection fraction, and pain to balloon time were independent predictors of HTB. CONCLUSIONS PRECISE-DAPT score was an independent predictor of HTB in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
Background No-/slow-reflow indicates worse outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with high thrombus burden. We examined whether deferred stenting (DS) strategy reduces no-/slow-reflow or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for patients with acute STEMI and high thrombus burden. Methods We performed an open-label, multi-center, prospective cohort study among eligible patients with acute STEMI and high thrombus burden who further received pPCI. All participants received PCI with DS (second procedure performed within 48-72 h) or immediate-stenting (IS) strategy. The primary outcome was the incidence of no-/slow-reflow. We evaluated MACEs and bleeding events during hospitalization and at 30- and 90-day follow-ups. Results We recruited 245 patients to this study, including 51 with DS and 194 with IS. Baseline clinical characters were comparable between the 2 strategies. Incidence of no-/slow-reflow defined by thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade was not significantly different between the 2 strategies [DS: 5 (9.8%), IS: 33 (17.0%), P=0.21]. No-/slow-reflow by TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) was less prevalent in DS [20 (39.2%) vs. 107 (55.2%), P=0.04]. No significant differences were found in recurrence of myocardial infarction (P=0.56), cardiac death (P=0.37), all-cause mortality (P=0.37), heart failure-induced readmission (P=0.35), or bleeding (P=0.61) between the 2 strategies in-hospital, and at 30- and 90-day follow-up. Conclusions In STEMI patients with high thrombus burden who underwent pPCI, DS strategy reduced no-/slow-reflow of microcirculation. However, DS strategy did not reduce incidence of MACEs or bleeding.

Abstract
Background Routine thrombus aspiration during primary PCI does not improve clinical outcomes. Although recent guidelines for management of patient presented by ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary PCI does not recommend routine use of thrombus aspiration and ranking it as class III recommendation. However, there is remaining uncertainty about rule of TA in group of patients presented by STEMI and their initial coronary angiogram shows large thrombus burden as there is a logical rationale for greater benefit, and still, there are no clear guidelines for management of this group of patients; the aim of this study is to evaluate the in-hospital and short-term outcome of using manual thrombus aspiration in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI and showing large thrombus burden. Results The study was prospective observational study included 209 patients referred to coronary care unit (CCU) with diagnosis of STEMI who had undergone primary PCI; their initial coronary angiography show totally occluded infarct-related artery with heavy thrombus burden. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group (B) which included 73 patients, who had undergone PTCA and manual thrombus aspiration followed by stent to culprit lesion, and group (A) which included 136 patients, who had undergone conventional PTCA and stent of culprit lesion within the period from November 2016 till July 2018. Patients had a pre-discharge echo and were followed up for 4 weeks for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and echo repeated after 1 month of discharge. It was found that thrombus aspiration in heavy thrombus burden cases had improved in-hospital mortality and in-hospital secondary endpoints (TIMI flow, MBG, ST-segment resolution), as well as 30-day MACE and LV systolic function. Conclusion In patients presented with STEMI and heavy thrombus burden culprit artery, manual thrombus aspiration has great value in reducing index hospitalization and 1 month mortality and improve TIMI flow, MBG, ST-segment resolution, and left ventricular systolic function.

Abstract
Background Currently, how to accurately determine the patient prognosis after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear and may vary among populations, hospitals, and datasets. The aim of this study was to establish a prediction model of in-hospital mortality risk after primary PCI in patients with acute ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods This was a multicenter, observational study of patients with acute STEMI who underwent primary PCI. The outcome was in-hospital mortality. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to select the features that were the most significantly associated with the outcome. A regression model was built using the selected variables to select the significant predictors of mortality. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. Results Totally, 1169 and 316 patients were enrolled in the training and validation sets, respectively. Fourteen predictors were identified by the LASSO analysis: sex, Killip classification, left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD), grading of thrombus, TIMI classification, slow flow, application of IABP, administration of β-blocker, ACEI/ARB, symptom-to-door time (SDT), symptom-to-balloon time (SBT), syntax score, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and CK-MB peak. The mortality risk prediction nomogram achieved good discrimination for in-hospital mortality (training set: C-statistic = 0.987; model calibration: P = 0.722; validation set: C-statistic = 0.984, model calibration: P = 0.669). Area under the curve (AUC) values for the training and validation sets are 0.987 (95% CI: 0.981–0.994, P = 0.003) and 0.990 (95% CI: 0.987–0.998, P = 0.007), respectively. DCA shows that the nomogram can achieve good net benefit. Conclusions A novel nomogram was developed and is a simple and accurate tool for predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute STEMI who underwent primary PCI.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The current study was performed to compare the effect of tirofiban and recombinant human pro-urokinase (rh-proUK) on the improvement of coronary slow blood after PPCI.Sixty-five ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with rh-proUK and an equal number treated with tirofiban after PPCI were employed in the current study. The clinicopathological information regarding the biochemical parameters, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade, hemodynamics parameters, thrombus core (TS), sum-STR, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), blood routine parameters, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) level, uric acid, hepatorenal function, electrocardiogram (ECG), and echocardiography before and after the interventions were collected. The differences in those parameters between the 2 groups then compared with assess the treatment effect and side effects associated with the both therapies.The results showed that the TIMI level post-intervention (P = .03), the proportion of TIMI myocardial perfusion grade level III (P = .04), the changes in thrombus score (P < .001) in rh-proUK group were significantly higher than those in tirofiban group while the corrected TIMI Frame Count (CTFC) (P = .02), the incidence of slow flow (P = .02), the thrombus score post-intervention (P < .001), the stent length (P = .02), and the number of receiving administration of sodium nitroprusside (P = .01) were significantly lower than those in tirofiban group. Moreover, the levels of CK (P < .001), CK-MB (P = .01), and NT-proBNP 24-hour post-intervention (P < .02) were significantly lower in rh-proUK group than those in tirofiban group and the sum-STR right after the intervention (P < .03) of rh-proUK group was significantly higher than that of tirofiban group. No significant difference was detected between the 2 therapies regarding major adverse cardiac events (MACE).The findings outlined in the current study showed that the improvement effect of rh-proUK on blood flow condition was stronger right after the intervention and the therapy had a similar safety when compared with tirofiban during a 30-day follow-up.

[PMID: 29238362 PMCID: PMC5721196 DOI: 10.11909/j.issn.1671-5411.2017.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2017] [Revised: 09/06/2017] [Accepted: 10/10/2017] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Suboptimal myocardial reperfusion is common in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Furthermore, it results in increased infarct size and mortality rates. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the role of aspiration thrombectomy (AT) combined with intracoronary administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) in the improvement of myocardial reperfusion and clinical outcomes. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating combined AT and intracoronary GPI treatment versus AT alone. Outcomes of interest were thrombolysis in myocardial infarction myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG), infarct size (IS) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at short-term (≤ 1 month) and long-term (6-12 months) follow-up, and bleeding complications during the hospital stay. RESULTS Eight trials involving 923 patients were included. Compared with AT alone, combined AT and intracoronary GPI significantly increased TMPG 3 flow (RR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.26), reduced IS [mean difference (MD): -3.46, 95% CI: -5.18 to -1.73], and improved LVEF (MD: 1.44, 95% CI: 0.54 to 2.33). Furthermore, GPI use decreased the risk of MACE at long-term follow-up (RR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.98). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of minor and major bleeding complications. CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed that compared with AT alone, combined AT and intracoronary GPI treatment resulted in improved myocardial reperfusion, better cardiac function, and MACE-free survival benefits at the long-term follow-up for patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI.

Abstract
Background No/slow reflow gives rise to serious complications in STEMI patients undergoing PCI, and can lead to worse outcomes. Several measures are used to prevent no/slow reflow, including thrombus removal processes and intensive use of anticoagulant agents. Our study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombectomy and intracoronary administration of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. Material/Methods We randomly assigned 240 STEMI patients into 3 groups. Before PPCI, patients in group A received thrombectomy and intracoronary administration of tirofiban. Patients in group B received thrombectomy, and patients in group C neither of these 2 treatments. Their demographic data and coronary angiography results were recorded. TIMI grade flow was used to evaluate the effect. After the follow-up, major adverse cardiac events were regarded as study endpoints in evaluating the safety of the combined therapy. Results We found no significant differences among the 3 groups in demographic and clinical characteristics (p>0.05). Patients in group A had better TIMI grade classifications and ST-segment elevation (p=0.005), and lower incidence of no/slow reflow (p=0.031) and MACE. During 6-month follow-up, the MACE rate was lower in group A than in groups B and C (p=0.038). Conclusions The use of thrombectomy combined with intracoronary administration of tirofiban is relatively effective and safe in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No-reflow is a frequent complication during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Available data is limited regarding its impact on short-term outcomes in patients undergoing manual thrombus aspiration. Renal impairment is also associated with higher complication rates in STEMI. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the impact of baseline renal dysfunction on the no- reflow phenomenon and the association of no-reflow phenomenon with early clinical outcomes. METHODS A total of 94 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent primary stent-based PCI and thrombus aspiration were enrolled. No-reflow was established by the use of angiographic and electrocardiographic reperfusion criteria, respectively. Additionally angiographic and clinical follow-up data were also recorded. RESULTS In our study, the no-reflow phenomenon was observed in 10 patients (11%) angiographically and in 23 patients (24%) electrocardiographically. Whereas, the the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [odds ratio (OR) 10.4], hypertension (OR 6.2), previous MI (OR 6.5), previous PCI history, (OR 4.2), predilatation (OR 7.2), final balloon pressure (OR 0.9) were found to be the significant predictors of angiographic no-reflow, only reperfusion time was the predictor of electrocardiographic no-reflow (OR 1.12) at univariate analysis. After adjustment, lower eGFR (OR 14.8) was found to be the independent predictor for angiographic no-reflow. In-hospital mortality was more common in patients with either no-reflow condition separately. CONCLUSIONS Longer ischemic time and lower initial eGFR values were associated with no-reflow phenomenon. Irrespective of poor reperfusion criteria, no-reflow phenomenon is associated with in-hospital outcome. Future efforts should be made to reduce the incidence of no-reflow especially in patients with lower initial eGFR values. KEY WORDS Acute myocardial infarction • Glomerular filtration rate • No-reflow phenomenon • Primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at substantial risk of suboptimal procedural results and late adverse events. Angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies have identified residual coronary thrombus and microcirculatory injury as potential culprits for these adverse outcomes. We hypothesized that coronary thrombectomy and local infusion of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors by means of a dedicated infusion device can synergistically improve results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI, as appraised by OCT. METHODS A total of 128 patients with STEMI will be randomized, to one of the following: abciximab infusion with the ClearWay coronary catheter (C), standard abciximab infusion (A), thrombectomy followed by abciximab infusion with the ClearWay catheter (T+C), or thrombectomy followed by standard abciximab infusion (T+A). The primary objective is to demonstrate that abciximab infusion with the ClearWay catheter with or without manual thrombus aspiration (groups C or T+C) will result in a significant reduction of intrastent thrombus formations when compared with intravenous or intracoronary abciximab with or without thrombectomy (groups A or T+A). The primary endpoint will be the number of cross-sections with thrombus area more than 10% immediately after stent implantation as assessed with OCT. Additional angiographic, ECG and clinical endpoints will be collected and adjudicated. CONCLUSION This trial will provide important mechanistic insights on the most appropriate invasive treatment strategy for patients with STEMI and significant thrombus burden, by exploiting its factorial design and reliance on sensitive OCT endpoints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of combined treatment with thrombus aspiration and intracoronary tirofiban in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), with elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Patients undergoing elective PCI during recovery from acute MI were randomized into two groups; the intervention group received thrombus aspiration and intracoronary tirofiban; the control group received conventional PCI. Baseline clinical characteristics, postoperative coronary blood flow (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction [TIMI] grade), TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grade, no/slow reflow rate and cardiac function (measured by echocardiography 1 month postoperatively) were evaluated. Major adverse cardiac event rate and bleeding complications during surgery (and at 1 month and 1 year postoperatively) were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 80 patients were included. Postoperatively, the number of patients with TIMI flow grade 3 and the mean TMP grade were both significantly higher, and the no/slow reflow rate was significantly lower, in the intervention group versus the control group. Echocardiography indicated that cardiac function was significantly improved in the intervention group compared with the control group. There were no major complications in either study group. CONCLUSION Thrombus aspiration combined with intracoronary tirofiban during recovery from acute MI was effective and relatively well tolerated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A 53-year-old man symptomatic for unstable angina, underwent PCI for a severe stenosis of the first obtuse marginal and a CTO of the left circumflex arteries. INVESTIGATIONS Physical examination, myocardial necrosis markers, ECG, transthoracic echocardiography, exercise ECG test, bilateral coronary angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance. DIAGNOSIS During PCI, antegrade contrast injection displaced a large clot from the guiding catheter into the left coronary artery causing massive thrombosis. The patient became haemodynamically unstable. The pressure wave from the guiding catheter was damped. MANAGEMENT Intravenous UFH and abciximab followed by aspiration from the guiding catheter, and then through an aspiration catheter, until clear blood came out and pressure wave was normalised. Subsequent left coronary angiography showed no residual thrombi with TIMI-3 flow. Afterwards, a CMR scan showed no myocardial damage.

Abstract
Background: Available data from randomized trials on thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have shown favorable trends in myocardial reperfusion. However, few data are available on the effect of thrombectomy on clinical outcome. Thus we have designed a collaborative individual patient-data meta-analysis which aimed to assess the long-term clinical outcome in STEMI patients randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without thrombectomy. Method: After a thorough database search, the principal investigators of randomized trials comparing thrombectomy with standard PCI in patients with STEMI were contacted. Principal investigators as authors of 11 randomized studies agreed to participate and were asked to complete a structured database by providing a series of key pre-PCI clinical and angiographic data as well as the longest available clinical outcome of the patients enrolled in the corresponding trial. The primary end-point of this pooled analysis is the comparison of overall survival rates between patients randomized to PCI with thrombectomy or PCI without thrombectomy. The secondary end-points are survival free from myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR), major adverse coronary events (MACE: death + MI + TLR) and death + MI between patients randomized to PCI with thrombectomy or PCI without thrombectomy. A pre-defined subgroup analysis is planned considering the following variables: type of thrombectomy device used, diabetes, rescue PCI, IIb/IIIa-inhibitors use, time-to-reperfusion, infarct-related artery, and pre-PCI TIMI flow. Implications: This study will provide useful data on the effect of the reported improved myocardial perfusion associated with thrombectomy on the long-term clinical outcome in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
A case of acute myocardial infarction in a young athlete provoked by ephedrine abuse has been described in this study. An intracoronary thrombus found in the left anterior descending coronary artery at urgent angiography was successfully removed using the Pronto (Vascular Solutions, Minneapolis, Minnesota) aspiration catheter. The intravascular ultrasound examination performed thereafter showed a nonobstructive atherosclerotic plaque in the culprit artery; there was no evidence whatsoever of possible plaque disruption. The result of percutaneous coronary intervention was satisfactory, and no stent implantation was needed. The patient experienced no adverse events until his outpatient visit 3 months later.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent thrombosis (ST) is a recognized complication limiting the clinical efficacy of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Because of the increasing number of stent-based PCI, the absolute number of patients experiencing ST is expected to expand. Re-PCI is the commonly adopted treatment for patients with ST; however, the prognostic variables as well as the angiographic and clinical results have not been systematically assessed. Moreover, the possible benefit associated with the use of adjunctive devices (AD) with theoretical antiembolic property has not been systematically analyzed in this high-risk population. METHODS We present the design of a prospective and retrospective multicenter registry to assess the contemporary angiographic and clinical outcome of PCI in patients with ST. Moreover, we sought to assess if the use of thrombectomy or distal protection AD is associated with any improvement in the PCI's angiographic results. All patients with angiographically confirmed ST undergoing attempt of PCI in the enrolling centers during a fixed 2-year study period will enter the study. Clinical outcome during hospitalization, at 30 days and 6 months will be assessed. Percutaneous coronary intervention with or without AD will be performed according to physician's discretion. All PCI cine-film will undergo blind core laboratory analysis to assess a series of key angiographic data (TIMI flow, TIMI frame count, thrombus score, myocardial blush grade, distal embolization). CONCLUSIONS The OPTIMIST study is designed to provide a detailed description of the angiographic and clinical outcome achieved in the real world with contemporary PCI for ST. Moreover, it will provide observational data regarding the role of AD in this high-risk scenario.
