Prevention of Coronary Slow Flow or No-Reflow During EPCI in Patients With Acute STEMI

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2019-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (EPCI) is the common treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon following EPCI in STEMI patients has been a serious and common complication that closely related to the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and affected patients' prognosis. No reflow is a multi-factorial phenomenon. And its preventive and therapeutic effects are not satisfactory. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare favorable effects of Nitroprusside versus Tirofiban on the prevention of slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon during EPCI.
