IABP In AMI Patients With SCAI-B Study

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock (CS), and CS is the most common cause of death in patients with AMI. Percutaneous mechanical circulation is one of the most important techniques in the treatment of AMICS. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used mechanical circulatory assist device in clinic. However, the existing clinical evidence shows that IABP can not improve the clinical outcome of patients with AMICS. As for impella and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system, there was still no difference in overall mortality compared with IABP in AMICS. Until now, IABP-shock II study is the largest randomized controlled study so far. However, this study has limitations. In a recent retrospective study, the project team investigated the use of IABP and the outcomes of more than 300 AMI cases in three provincial capitals of Northeast China in 2016. It was found that the 28 day survival rate of patients in the early use of IABP group was significantly higher than that in the late use group. The investigators speculate that IABP may significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it can be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study will involve 512 participants in about 15 centers. Patients diagnosed with AMI (including STEMI and NSTEMI) complicated with shock stage B (SCAI definition criteria) received early revascularization (PCI or CABG) and standardized drug treatment according to the current guidelines before meeting the study inclusion criteria. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, participants were randomized to two groups (IABP group and control group) in a ratio of 1:1. The investigators speculated that IABP could significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it could be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). At present, there is no clinical study on the use of IABP in AMICS (stage B). It is worth carrying out the corresponding clinical research, in order to study the real role of IABP in patients with AMICS and explore the treatment strategy of AMICS in line with China's national conditions.

Detailed Description
-----------------
(A).Background AMICS is the most common cause of death in patients with coronary heart disease. Even with modern treatment, including early reperfusion combined with mechanical assistive devices, the 30-day mortality of AMICS is still close to 50%. At present, mechanical assistive devices mainly include IABP, ECMO, and impalla. As far as China's national conditions are concerned, IABP is still the most easily available mechanical assistive device for clinical operation and management. IABP can reduce cardiac afterload, decrease myocardial oxygen consumption and increase cardiac output in patients with AMICS, which is helpful to protect the myocardium and improve end-organ perfusion. In previous registration studies or retrospective analyses on IABP, the mortality of CS patients using IABP was significantly lower than that of the control group. Therefore, the use of IABP in patients with AMICS are class I recommendations in the early (before 2012) American and European guidelines. Until 2012, the results of IABP-SHOCK II study were released, the effect of IABP on patients with AMICS began to be questioned. IABP-SHOCK II study is the largest randomized controlled study so far. Compared with traditional treatment, IABP did not improve AMICS mortality in 30 days, 1 year, and 6 years. Subsequently, European guidelines did not recommend routine use of IABP (level III recommendation) in AMICS, while American guidelines changed from level I recommendation to level IIb recommendation . However, the IABP-SHOCK II study has some limitations: (1) the severity of CS in the patients included in this study varies greatly; (2) IABP was used relatively late (most patients received IABP treatment after revascularization and severe tissue hypoperfusion). CS patients are a heterogeneous population, and the prognosis may vary greatly with the severity of shock. In order to guide treatment and predict clinical outcomes more accurately, the consensus statement of clinical experts on classification of cardiogenic shock SCAI was issued at the 42nd Annual Meeting of angiocardiography and intervention (SCAI) in 2019, which divided CS into five stages: a (risk stage), B (initial stage), C (typical stage), D (deterioration stage) and E (end stage). In the IABP-SHOCK II study, the inclusion criteria of CS patients were (1) systolic blood pressure < 90mmHg for more than 30min or the need for catecholamine drugs to maintain systolic blood pressure > 90mmHg with signs of pulmonary congestion; (2) The symptoms of organ hypoperfusion (at least in accordance with the following 1 item): (a) change of mental state; (b) The limbs and skin are cold and wet; (c) The decrease of urine volume was less than 30ml / h; (d) Lactic acid > 2.0mmol/l. Therefore, patients with CS of stage C (typical stage) or more severity were included in IABP-SHOCK II study. According to the Chinese expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of cardiogenic shock (2018), it is emphasized that IABP should be implanted as soon as possible and maintained for enough time in patients with AMICS. In addition, in a recent retrospective study, the project team investigated the use of IABP and the outcomes of more than 300 AMI cases in three provincial capitals of Northeast China in 2016. It was found that the 28-day survival rate of patients in the early use of IABP group was significantly higher than that in the late use group. The investigators speculated that IABP could significantly improve the clinical outcomes of patients with AMICS if it could be used in the earlier stage of CS (stage B). At present, there is no clinical study on the use of IABP in AMICS (stage B). It is worth carrying out the corresponding clinical research, in order to study the real role of IABP in patients with AMICS and explore the treatment strategy of AMICS in line with China's national conditions. (B).Preliminary Data The clinical data of all patients receiving IABP treatment in 8 top three hospitals in three provincial capitals of Northeast China. The reasons for receiving IABP treatment, the duration of treatment and the clinical outcomes of patients were recorded. At the same time, the high-risk PCI patients were analyzed according to early IABP implantation (before PCI or at the same time) and late implantation (after PCI). Only one of the eight hospitals is a heart center with more than 2000 cases of operation and more than 200 cases of IABP implantation. The 28 day survival rate of patients with IABP implantation is 87.9%, which is significantly higher than that of other hospitals. IABP is widely used in high-risk PCI patients (77.5% of left main coronary artery disease, 13.9% of multi vessel disease), patients with acute myocardial infarction ventricular septal perforation and unable to carry out revascularization, and patients with severe myocarditis. IABP treatment time is 12-186 hours, 28 day survival rate is 78.2%. Especially, the survival rate of early IABP implantation was significantly higher than that of late group (89% vs. 63%, P < 0.05) in high risk AMI with left main and multi-vessel lesions (C). Research Design and Methodology This multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study will involve 512 participants in about 15 centers. Patients diagnosed with AMI (including STEMI and NSTEMI) complicated with shock stage B (SCAI definition criteria) received early revascularization (PCI or CABG) and standardized drug treatment according to the current guidelines before meeting the study inclusion criteria. After reviewing the inclusion criteria, participants were randomized to two groups (IABP group and control group) in a ratio of 1:1. Inclusion criteria (1) Patients aged 18-85 years with AMI (STEMI or NSTEMI) and shock stage B (SCAI definition criteria); (2) Plan to implement revascularization (PCI or CABG) (3) Hypotension: SBP < 90mmHg or map < 60mmhg or decrease > 30mmhg from baseline, more than 30min under the condition of sufficient blood volume; (4) No signs of hypoperfusion (if one of the following conditions is met): :1) Good mental state; 2) The extremities were warm without cold and wet; 3) Lactic acid ≤ 2 mm; 4) Normal renal function or mild renal impairment (creatinine increase less than one time or GFR decrease ≤ 50%. Exclusion criteria (1) Age > 85; (2) CPR > 30 min; (3) Stage C-E in SCAI shock definition criteria; (4) Acute pulmonary embolism; (5) Mechanical complications, such as ventricular septal perforation, acute mitral regurgitation; (6) Non drug induced severe central nervous system dysfunction; (7) Other causes of shock, such as septic shock, hemorrhagic shock, ketoacidosis; (8) Aortic insufficiency above grade II; (9) Difficulty in IABP implantation due to severe peripheral vascular disease; (10) Combined with other serious diseases and life expectancy < 12 months; (11) Refusal to sign informed consent Study endpoint (1) Primary endpoint: 30 day all-cause death (2) Secondary endpoint Key secondary endpoints: all cause death, cardiac death, readmission of heart failure, NYHA I / II ratio of cardiac function, KCQQ score. Other secondary end points: ① Monitoring treatment parameters: the proportion of shock progressing to SCAI stage C / D / E, the time required for hemodynamic stability, the dosage and type of vasoactive drugs, the length of stay in CCU unit, and the use rate of more advanced cardiac assistive devices (ECMO and impalar). ② Myocardial perfusion and microcirculation flow score. (3) Primary safety end point: Gusto defined massive or life-threatening bleeding, disabling stroke, peripheral vascular complications requiring surgical or interventional treatment. 4. Statistical analysis Sample size estimation According to the results of previous studies on SCAI shock, the retrospective statistical results of the three northeastern provinces in the early stage of IABP and the recommendations of the expert group, it is estimated that the event rate of the control group is 34%, and that of the IABP group is 22%. In order to detect the relative risk of 35% reduction in bilateral α According to the statistical power calculation of 5% and 80%, and considering the shedding rate of 10%, 256 patients / group (a total of 512 patients) were calculated. Effectiveness and safety analysis The measurement data and counting data passed t test, chi square test or Fisher test. Survival analysis was used to describe the primary and secondary endpoints. Log rank sum test was used for comparison between the study groups. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the risk ratio of each endpoint.
