REPERFUSION THERAPY IN STEMI

PRIMARY PCI is defined as percutaneous intervention in the

setting of STEMI without previous or

concomitant fibrinolytic treatment.

Reperfusion Therapy for Patients with STEMI

*Patients with cardiogenic shock or severe heart failure initially seen at a non–PCI-capable hospital should be transferred for cardiac catheterization and

revascularization as soon as possible, irrespective of time delay from MI onset (Class I, LOE: B). †Angiography and revascularization should not be performed

within the first 2 to 3 hours after administration of fibrinolytic therapy.

total dose is 100 mg for patients weighing more than 67 kg. This is the most common alteplase infusion

parameter used for AMI.

Reteplase

First, reconstitute two 10-U vials with sterile water (10 mL) to 1 U/mL. The adult dose of reteplase for AMI

consists of 2 IV boluses of 10 units each; there is no weight adjustment. The first 10 U IV bolus is given over 2

minutes; 30 minutes later, a second 10 U IV bolus is given over 2 minutes. Administer normal saline (NS) flush

before and after each bolus.

Tenecteplase

To reconstitute tenecteplase, mix the 50-mg vial in 10 mL sterile water (5 mg/mL). Tenecteplase is admini

in a 30-50 mg IV bolus over 5 seconds. The dosage is calculated on the basis of the patient’s weight, as follows:

< 60 kg - 30 mg (6 mL)

60 to 69 kg - 35 mg (7 mL)

70 to 79 kg - 40 mg (8 mL)

80 to 89 kg - 45 mg (9 mL)

≥ 90 kg - 50 mg (10 mL)

Streptokinase

The adult dose of streptokinase for AMI is 1.5 million U in 50 mL of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) given IV over 60

minutes. Allergic reactions force the termination of many infusions before a therapeutic dose can be

administered.

APSAC

The adult dose of APSAC (anistreplase) for AMI is 30 U given IV over 2-5 minutes

Convincing evidence of the effectiveness of aspirin was demonstrated by the ISIS-2

trial,79 in which the benefits of aspirin and streptokinase were additive. The first dose of

150–325 mg should be chewed (no enteric-coated aspirin because of slow onset of

action) and a lower dose (75–100 mg) given orally daily thereafter. If oral ingestion is not

possible, aspirin can be given i.v. (250–500 mg). In the CLARITY trial, patients ≤75 years

were treated with a standard fibrinolytic regimen and randomized to 300 mg clopidogrel

loading dose followed by 75 mg per day or placebo on top of aspirin up to and including

the day of angiography with a maximum of 8 days (mean duration 3 days). By 30 days,

clopidogrel therapy reduced the odds of the composite end-point of death from

cardiovascular causes, recurrent myocardial infarction, or recurrent ischaemia, leading to

a reduction of the need for urgent revascularization of 20%. The rates of major bleeding

and intracranial haemorrhage were similar in the two groups.52 In the COMMIT

study,80 45 852 Chinese patients of any age (but <1000 patients >75 years) with

suspected myocardial infarction (93% with STEMI) were randomized to clopidogrel 75 mg

(no loading dose) or placebo in addition to aspirin. Clopidogrel significantly reduced the

odds of the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, corresponding to nine

fewer events per 1000 patients treated for ∼2 weeks. Accordingly, there is a good case

for the routine use of clopidogrel in the acute phase

coronary angiography :

�circumvents the need for an urgent procedure in about

two thirds of fibrinolytic treated STEMI patients.

�is associated with a small increased risk of intracranial

�is as effective as primary PCI in STEMI patients presenting

within 3 hours of symptom onset who cannot undergo

REPERFUSION THERAPY IN STEMI

In this trial, 1572 STEMI patients were randomized within 12 hours of symptom onset to a fibrinolytic versus

a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy in both community (n=1129) and primary PCI

(n=443) hospitals.19 This study integrated an inter-institutional transfer policy for those randomized to

primary PCI if it could be achieved within 3 hours. The Data and Safety Monitoring Board prematurely

terminated DANAMI 2 because of the perception of “clear benefit” of primary PCI. Although DANAMI 2 did

show a substantial reduction in the composite 30-day endpoint of death, re-MI, and disabling stroke (13.7%

versus 8.0%; P=0.003) in favor of the primary PCI strategy, this outcome was overwhelmingly influenced by

the reduction in reinfarction (from 6.3% to 1.6%; P<0.0001). Importantly, this reduction in reinfarction

occurred in a clinical environment where transfer from a community hospital was considered

“investigational” if a mechanical intervention after fibrinolysis was needed. Hence, urgent PCI occurred in

only 2.5% of patients, even though 28% of the patients were randomized in interventional institutions. An

additional study, interpreted by some as impetus to move to an overall primary PCI strategy, was conducted

by the Cardiovascular Patients Outcomes Research Team (C-PORT) investigators who randomized 451 STEMI

patients within 12 hours of symptom onset to primary PCI versus tPA.20 Although there was no difference in

mortality, there was a substantial reduction in the composite endpoints of death, re-MI, and stroke with

primary PCI (17.7% versus 10.7% with tPA; P=0.03); this was again largely accounted for by a reduction in an

unusually high reinfarction rate amongst fibrinolytic-treated versus PCI-treated patients (8.8% versus

4%; P=0.04). Hence, in both the aforementioned studies, which used unfractionated heparin as the

antithrombin fibrinolytic partner, the recurrent infarction rate was by far the most important element in the

composite endpoint and seemed unusually high relative to other trials. This is well demonstrated in Figure 2,

where we compare the incidence of recurrent infarction in a number of recent STEMI studies that evaluated

fibrinolysis and antithrombin therapy; it is useful to evaluate them in the context of the frequency with

which mechanical cointervention with PCI was used.
