Coronary Interventions and Diagnostics

Background It is unknown whether adenosine triphosphate disodium (ATP) administration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is useful in anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The study was a prospective, non-randomized, open-label trial. Primary PCI was successfully performed in 204 consecutive patients with first anterior AMI. ATP at a mean dose of 117 μg/kg/min for 45 min on an average was infused intravenously during PCI in 100 patients (Group 1). In the other 104 patients, normal saline was administered (Group 2). ST-segment resolution (STR) was estimated 90 min after recanalization. The no-reflow ratio was measured 2 weeks later, using intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LV regional wall motion (LVRWM), and LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) were measured 6 months later. Results Baseline patient characteristics of the two groups were similar, including TIMI risk scores. Significant STR (≧50% resolution compared to baseline) (66% versus 50%; Group 1 versus Group 2, p=0.02), no-reflow ratio (24% versus 34%, indicated by mean values, p=0.02), LVEF (61% versus 55%, p=0.0007), LVRWM (−1.56 versus −2.05, using the SD/chord, p=0.0001), and LVEDVI (60 ml/m2 versus 71 ml/m2, p=0.0007) were significantly better in Group 1, and the no-reflow ratio, LVEF, LVRWM and LVEDVI were significantly better in ATP-administered patients, regardless of antecedent angina or advanced age. ATP Administration was consistently identified as a significant determinant for STR, no-reflow ratio, LVEF, LVRWM, and LVEDVI. Conclusions Intravenous ATP administration during reperfusion is an independent determinant of STR and the no-reflow ratio, and LVEF, LVRWM, and LVEDVI at 6 months after primary PCI.
