Evaluation of MTH in PCI Under VA-ECMO for AMICS
44 participantsStarted 2025-09
Plain-language summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of mild therapeutic hypothermia in reducing infarct size and improving cardiac function in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention under venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock. Secondary objectives include evaluating the safety of mild therapeutic hypothermia and its impact on venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning success and short-term survival.

Inclusion criteria
. Patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock who undergo emergency percutaneous coronary intervention under venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and endotracheal intubation.
. Patients diagnosed with anterior wall myocardial infarction.
. Aged ≥18 years.
Exclusion criteria
. Cardiogenic shock lasting more than 12 hours or a history of chronic congestive heart failure.
. History of prior coronary artery intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, heart transplantation, heart-lung transplantation, or left ventricular assist device implantation.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Myocardial Salvage Index (MSI)
Timeframe: 3 day (± 1 day) post-percutaneous coronary intervention
. Cardiogenic shock associated with mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction, such as ventricular septal rupture, acute mitral regurgitation, acute ventricular septal defect, and cardiac tamponade.
. Refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation lasting longer than 45 minutes.
. Known end-stage renal disease (e.g., on dialysis or post-kidney transplantation) or severe liver failure (e.g., cirrhosis or acute hepatitis).
. Contraindications to hypothermia therapy, such as cryoglobulinemia, sickle cell disease, cold agglutinin disease, and vasospastic disorders (e.g., Raynaud's disease and thromboangiitis obliterans).
. Refusal to undergo 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission tomography imaging or presence of known or suspected contraindications to 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission tomography imaging.
