Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
STEMI Anterior MI | Device: PiCSO | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 145 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | A prospective, multicenter, randomized (1:1), controlled, study |
Masking: | Single (Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Analysis of the primary endpoint, infarct size 5-days post MI assessed by CMR, will be analyzed by an independent Corelab, blinded to the allocated treatment arm. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | First Randomized Study of Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) in Acute Myocardial Infarction |
Actual Study Start Date : | July 25, 2019 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | August 31, 2022 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | February 6, 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control
This is the actual control group receiving conventional therapy, ie. percutaneous coronary intervention.
|
|
Experimental: PICSO
This arm will be treated with Pressure controlled intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) in addition to conventional therapy (percutaneous coronary intervention).
|
Device: PiCSO
After blood flow restoration, the subjects meeting all inclusion and none exclusion criterial will be enrolled into the study and randomized either to PiCSO Group or Control Group. If the subject is randomized to PiCSO Group, the coronary sinus (CS) will be cannulated through the femoral vein and the PiCSO Impulse Catheter will be placed in the CS. Once PiCSO Impulse Catheter is placed into CS, PiCSO treatment is started followed by stenting. The physician shall target a PiCSO treatment of 45 minutes (at minimum 30 minutes) whereas the treatment should be continued during and post stent insertion, but should not exceed a maximum duration of 90 minutes. At the end of the PiCSO treatment, the PiCSO Impulse Console is stopped and the PiCSO Impulse Catheter is removed. |
