Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold standard of treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon following PPCI in STEMI patients has been a serious and common complication that closely related to the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and affected patients' prognosis. No reflow is a multi-factorial phenomenon. And its preventive and therapeutic effects are not satisfactory. This prospective randomized controlled study aimed to compare favorable effects of Nitroprusside versus Tirofiban on the prevention of slow flow / no-reflow phenomenon during PPCI.

Drug Nitroprusside Sodium

Intracoronary infusion 50~100μg each time (repeated)

  • Other names: Experimental-1 group

Drug Tirofiban Hydrochloride

Intracoronary infusion 10μg/kg for single time

  • Other names: Experimental-2 group

Drug Heparinized saline [heparin (liquaemin), sodium chloride]

Intracoronary infusion 2ml for single time

  • Other names: Control group

Nitroprusside group Experimental

After coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of Nitroprusside Sodium via guide-catheter was performed. Then repeated administration of Nitroprusside Sodium was done prior to coronary stent implantation or post dilatation.

Tirofiban group Experimental

After coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of Tirofiban Hydrochloride via guide-catheter was performed.

Control group Placebo Comparator

After coronary target vessel blood flow recovery by thrombus aspiration or/and balloon angioplasty (diameter ≤ 2.0mm), intracoronary infusion of heparinized saline via guide-catheter was performed.
