Abstract

Background— Postconditioning has been suggested to reduce myocardial damage during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction. However, because clinical experience is limited, we examined the cardioprotective effects of postconditioning, using cardiac MRI in patients treated with PPCI. Methods and Results— One hundred eighteen patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction referred for PPCI were randomly assigned to have either conventional PPCI or PPCI with postconditioning. Postconditioning was performed immediately after obtained reperfusion with 4 balloon occlusions, each lasting 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of reperfusion. The primary end point was myocardial salvage after 3 months as judged by delayed enhancement cardiac MRI. We found a 19% relative reduction of infarct size in the postconditioning group (51�16% of total area at risk versus 63�17%, P <0.01), corresponding to a 31% increase in salvage ratio. The number of patients developing heart failure was significantly fewer in the postconditioning group (27% versus 46%, P =0.048). No significant evidence of interaction between the impact of postconditioning and the location of the culprit lesion or size of the myocardium at risk was detected ( P =0.21 and P =0.71). Conclusions— Mechanical postconditioning reduces infarct size in patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction treated with PPCI. The impact of mechanical postconditioning seems to be independent of the size of myocardium at risk. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique Identifier: NCT00507156.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
