  Purpose

Study hypothesis :

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow derived progenitor cells to patients undergoing primary angioplasty for acute anterior myocardial infarction will lead to an improvement in cardiac function greater than that seen by placebo alone.

Aims

  • To demonstrate that intracoronary delivery of autologous bone marrow progenitor cells is safe.
  • To demonstrate that it is feasible to deliver autologous bone marrow derived stem cells within hours of the primary angioplasty procedure
  • To demonstrate the effects of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells on cardiac function using tissue Doppler echocardiography, cardiac MRI and left ventriculography.
  • To show a difference in cardiac function between patients treated with cells and saline(placebo).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Longitudinal change in left ventricular function (ejection fraction) as measured by cardiac MRI. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Longitudinal change in left ventricular function (ejection fraction) Reduction of left ventricular end systolic volume, Change in regional wall motion in infarct area and Change in infarct mass as measured by cardiac MRI [ Time Frame: 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in global ejection fraction as measured by LV angiography and improvement of myocardial contractility, assessed by contrast echocardiogram(wall motion score index). [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), Death (independent of cause and sudden death), myocardial infarction (Q-wave and Non-Q-wave), coronary revascularization [coronary bypass or PCI). [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Quality of life [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • LV function as measured by cardiac MRI [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • MACE [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Quality of life [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 80 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients presenting to the Heart Attack Centre with acute anterior myocardial infarction (ST elevation in at least 2 contiguous anterior leads ≥ 0.2 mV) and treated with acute PCI with stent implantation within 24 hours after symptom onset
  • Acute PCI / stent implantation has been successful (residual stenosis visually < 30% and TIMI flow ≥ 2).
  • At the time of inclusion patient no longer requires i.v. catecholamines or mechanical hemodynamic support (aortic balloon pump)
  • Significant regional wall motion abnormality in LV angiogram at the time of acute PCI
  • Age 18 - 80 Years (primary angioplasty confers an adverse prognosis in those over the age of 80 years)
