Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have proved that intracoronary injection of eptifibatide is safe and more effective in infarct size reduction and clinical outcomes than intravenously injection in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aimed to compare the effect of localized and intracoronary injection of eptifibatide on myocardial perfusion improvement and its outcomes. METHODS We conducted a randomized clinical trial study of 60 patients presented with thrombotic AMI. The patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and were randomly divided into two equal number groups. The first group received two bolus doses of 180 μg/kg eptifibatide through guiding catheter. The second group received the same bolus doses through export aspiration catheter into the coronary lesion directly. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow, myocardial blush grade (MBG), and no-reflow phenomenon were primary end points. Secondary end points were pre- and postprocedure cardiac arrhythmia, in-hospital mortality, adverse effects, reinfection, pre-discharge ventricular systolic function, and re-hospitalization and mortality after 6 month of follow up. RESULTS The mean ages of group I and group II were 58.3 ± 1.8 and 57.0 ±2.0 years, respectively, and most of patient were men (90% in group I and 80% in group II). Postprocedural TIMI flow grade 3 was achieved in 60.0% and 76.7% of the intracoronary and intralesional groups, respectively (P = 0.307). Postprocedural MBG grade 3 was achieved in 53.3% and 70.0% in intracoronary and intralesional groups, respectively (P = 0.479). There was no significant difference between the groups in no-reflow assessment. Moreover, no significant difference was seen between the two groups in secondary end-point analysis. CONCLUSION Both methods of intracoronary and intralesional eptifibatide administration during primary PCI in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were safe and similar in myocardial perfusion outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This multicenter registry aimed to assess the ClearWay™ (CW) perfusion catheter in reduction of thrombus burden and improvement of the coronary flow during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND The presence or development of thrombus during PCI is associated with poor prognosis. METHODS The utility of the CW perfusion catheter was assessed in patients who presented with intracoronary thrombus and were subjected to PCI. Data were collected by online survey from 15 US sites. Angiographic assessment of the coronary thrombus burden and the coronary flow after intracoronary infusion of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors via the CW catheter was evaluated at baseline, immediately after infusion, and at the end of the procedure. The cohort included 102 patients; 71.6% presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), 21.6% with non-ST-elevation MI, 5.9% with stable angina pectoris, and 2.9% with silent ischemia. The mean cohort age was 59.9±14.5years and comprised mostly of men (72.5%). RESULTS GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors were infused via the CW catheter on average 1.1±0.3 times, with a mean pressure of 4.2±2.7atm and a mean infusion time of 55±55s. Following the infusion, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow improved by 1° in 71 patients (69.6%) and by 2° in 51 patients (50%), while visible thrombus was reduced by 52% (p<0.001). In the final angiogram, TIMI flow was restored in 90.2% and clearance of a visible thrombus was obtained in 91.8% of the lesions. CONCLUSION Intracoronary infusion of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors via the perfusion CW catheter is associated with significant reduction in thrombus burden and with improvement of the coronary flow in patients presenting or developing thrombus burden during PCI.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) describes the physiologic state in which reduced cardiac output and resultant tissue hypoxia occur in the presence of adequate intravascular volume. Among patients hospitalized with myocardial infarction (MI), CS is the foremost cause of death. Women are more susceptible to CS than men in the setting of ST segment increase MI. Introduction of early revascularization strategies and mechanical ventricular support have seen a decrease in short-term mortality from CS. However, the prognosis following CS remains poor. This article examines the prevalence, causes, pathophysiology, and therapeutic options for CS among women.

Abstract
Intracoronary bolus of eptifibatide during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been shown to result in higher local platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor occupancy with improved microvascular perfusion. It is unclear whether intracoronary administration of eptifibatide in a larger patient population results in favourable clinical outcomes. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of two regimens of intracoronary eptifibatide (bolus only versus bolus followed by intravenous infusion) in patients undergoing primary PCI for ST-elevation MI. They were divided into two groups: Group A (n=67) who received fixed-dose intracoronary eptifibatide bolus only and Group B (n=88) who received intracoronary bolus and continuous intravenous infusion of eptifibatide for 18 h. The preliminary findings from our registry showed that both regimens were associated with good angiographic outcomes, few bleeding events and low in-hospital major adverse cardiac events. A large prospective randomized, multi-centre trial is needed to confirm our observation.

Beneficial effects of intracoronary tirofiban bolus administration following upstream intravenous treatment in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: the ICT-AMI study. Int J Cardiol 2011; 165:437-43.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether an additional intracoronary tirofiban bolus administration following upstream intravenous treatment could further improve myocardial reperfusion and clinical outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS A total of 453 eligible STEMI patients were randomly allocated to intracoronary bolus administration of tirofiban (10 μg/kg; n=229) or saline (10 mL; n=224) during primary PCI, followed by intravenous tirofiban infusion (0.15 μg/kg/min) for 24-36 h. Serum levels of P-selectin, vWF, CD40L and serum amyloid A (SAA) in the coronary sinus were measured before and after intracoronary bolus administration. The primary endpoint was ST-segment resolution (STR) at 90 min after the procedure. Second endpoints included corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC), left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction (EF), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30-day and 6-month follow-up. RESULTS Intracoronary tirofiban administration resulted in a higher rate of completed STR (59.0% vs. 44.6%, P=0.002), lower cTFC (21.6±5.4 vs. 23.7±7.8, P=0.048), and significantly reduced coronary sinus levels of P-selectin, vWF, CD40L and SAA. Patients treated with intracoronary tirofiban had a trend toward less MACE at 30 days (3.1% vs. 6.7%, P=0.072). At 6 months, left ventricular end-systolic volume was smaller, EF was higher and MACE-free survival was improved (96.1% vs. 90.6%, P=0.020) in the intracoronary tirofiban group. CONCLUSIONS An additional intracoronary tirofiban bolus administration following upstream intravenous treatment reduces coronary circulatory platelet activation and inflammatory process, and significantly improves myocardial reperfusion and left ventricular function as well as 6-month MACE-free survival for STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

Rationale and design of the INFUSE-AMI study: A 2 × 2 factorial, randomized, multicenter, single-blind evaluation of intracoronary abciximab infusion and aspiration thrombectomy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Am Heart J 2011; 161:478-486.e7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether thrombus aspiration and local glycoprotein IIb/IIIa administration reduce infarct size in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been established in multicenter studies. DESIGN INFUSE-AMI is a multicenter, open-label, controlled, single-blind randomized study enrolling 452 subjects with anterior STEMI and an occluded proximal or mid-left anterior descending artery with thrombosis in myocardial infarction 0, 1, or 2 grade flow undergoing primary PCI with bivalirudin anticoagulation. Subjects are randomized in a 2 × 2 factorial to one of the following 4 arms: (1) local infusion of abciximab using the ClearWay RX Local Therapeutic Infusion Catheter (ClearWay, Atrium Medical Corp, Hudson, NH) after aspiration with a 6F Export Aspiration Catheter (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, MN), (2) local infusion of abciximab using the ClearWay RX Infusion Catheter and no aspiration, (3) no local infusion of abciximab and aspiration with a 6F Export Aspiration Catheter, or (4) no local infusion of abciximab and no aspiration. The primary end point is infarct size (percentage of total left ventricular mass) at 30 days measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Other secondary end points include microvascular obstruction by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 5 days, ST-segment resolution, angiographic myocardial perfusion, thrombus burden, angiographic complications, and clinical events through 1-year follow-up. Safety end points include major and minor bleeding. SUMMARY INFUSE-AMI is testing the hypothesis that the intracoronary administration of an abciximab bolus with or without thrombus aspiration before stent implantation compared to no infusion with or without thrombus aspiration reduces infarct size among patients undergoing primary PCI for anterior STEMI who are treated with bivalirudin.

Abstract
Distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction or saphenous vein graft disease may result in microvascular obstruction and the 'no-reflow' phenomenon. The incidence of distal embolization ranges from 2 to 42% in saphenous vein graft intervention and from 6 to 15% in primary percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with impaired myocardial perfusion and poor outcome. Several mechanical and pharmacological strategies have been proposed to prevent or to treat embolization in percutaneous coronary intervention and have been tested in clinical trials. The pivotal role of distal embolization in the pathophysiology of microvascular obstruction will lead to the further development of preventive and therapeutic strategies. Strategies to counteract distal embolization and future directions are discussed in this review.

[PMID: 18840725 PMCID: PMC2569161 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2008-06-077891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 255] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2008] [Accepted: 07/21/2008] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Starting 90 years ago with a clinical description by Glanzmann of a bleeding disorder associated with a defect in platelet function, technologic advances helped investigators identify the defect as a mutation(s) in the integrin family receptor, alphaIIbbeta3, which has the capacity to bind fibrinogen (and other ligands) and support platelet-platelet interactions (aggregation). The receptor's activation state was found to be under exquisite control, with activators, inhibitors, and elaborate inside-out signaling mechanisms controlling its conformation. Structural biology has produced high-resolution images defining the ligand binding site at the atomic level. Research on alphaIIbbeta3 has been bidirectional, with basic insights resulting in improved Glanzmann thrombasthenia carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis, assays to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms responsible for alloimmune neonatal thrombocytopenia, and the development of alphaIIbbeta3 antagonists, the first rationally designed antiplatelet agents, to prevent and treat thrombotic cardiovascular disease. The future looks equally bright, with the potential for improved drugs and the application of gene therapy and stem cell biology to address the genetic abnormalities. The alphaIIbbeta3 saga serves as a paradigm of rigorous science growing out of careful clinical observations of a rare disorder yielding both important new scientific information and improved diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of other disorders.
