Upstream High‐Dose Tirofiban Does Not Reduce Myocardial Infarct Size in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pilot Study

Abstract: Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is more effective than fibrinolytic therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but initial treatment delay to intervention is the main limitation of this strategy. Hypothesis: Upstream use of high-dose tirofiban could reduce myocardial infarct size, using analysis of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI). Methods: Patients with STEMI within 12 hours after symptom onset were randomized to a facilitated PCI group (n… Show more

“…Power calculation of the sample size was performed according to previous studies. 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 Previous studies assumed an average infarct size of total left ventricular mass between 15% and 25% and an expected treatment effect reduction of 4 to 10 absolute percentage points. The SD of myocardial infarct size is 8% to 10%.…”

“…All measurements were performed at our CMR core laboratory by an experienced observer blinded to patient data using commercialized software (CAAS MRV version 1.0, Pie Medical Imaging BV, Maastricht, The Netherlands). Infarct size was defined as the proportion of delayed hyperenhancement to LV myocardial volume, and hypoenhanced region surrounded by a hyperenhanced area was considered a sign of microvascular obstruction (MVO) . The myocardial salvage index was calculated as (area‐at risk−infarct size)×100/area‐at risk.…”

Transmural infarct extent was expressed as a percentage of infarct thickness and categorized into 5 transmural scores.…”

“…There are a few recent studies that have investigated the effects of this agent on myocardial infarct size. In a small study, Song et al 45 tested high-dose tirofiban plus PCI versus conventional primary PCI, assessing infarct size by contrast-enhanced MRI at 1 month. Although tirofiban improved TIMI flow grade and myocardial blush grade during the index procedure at 1 month, myocardial infarct size was similar in the tirofiban plus facilitated PCI group versus primary PCI group (22 versus 25%; P=NS).…”
