Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Microvascular dysfunction is a key determinant of pathogenesis and outcome in patients suffering an acute myocardial infarction.

The investigators hypothesise that treatment with intracoronary abciximab, a potent anti platelet agent, at the time of coronary stent insertion, will improve microvascular function.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
N/A

Detailed Description

The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), an invasive measure of coronary microvascular function, correlates with clinical outcomes in patients with stable angina and ST elevation myocardial infarction. The glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor, abciximab, improves coronary microvascular function and reduces major cardiac adverse events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. This study will investigate whether an intracoronary bolus of abciximab in patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction decreases IMR and improves microvascular function.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Intracoronary abciximab (Reopro)

Intracoronary abciximab (Reopro)

Drug: Abciximab
This drug will be administered intracoronary before percutaneous coronary intervention.
Other Names:
  • Reopro
  • Placebo Comparator: Control group

    Intracoronary Reopro

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Index of Microvascular Resistance [within 3 hours]

      We will assess IMR in the catheterisation laboratory immediately before PCI, then intracoronary reopro or placebo will be administered and we will re-assess IMR 15 minutes post delivery of the study drug. Finally we will perform PCI and immediately measure IMR post-procedure.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction [within 24 hours]

      We will assess for periprocedural myocardial infarction 8 to 24 hours post PCI
