The Effects of Nitric Oxide for Inhalation in Right Ventricular Infarction Patients

Lead Sponsor:

Mallinckrodt

Conditions:

Right Ventricular Infarction

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

This study is designed to better understand the effects of nitric oxide, a gas for inhalation, on patients with right ventricular infarction.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will assess the feasibility of studying inhaled nitric oxide for the treatment of cardiogenic shock due to right ventricu...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Acute inferior mycardial infarction (defined as an episode of chest pain lasting \>30 minutes and electrocardiographic evidence of 1 mm or greater ST elevation in inferior leads) within the past 72 hours.
  • Invasive hemodynamic evidence of hemodynamically-significant RV dysfunction, defined as the presence of all the following: systemic venous congestion (mean RA pressure \> 10mmHg), the ratio of RA/PCW pressure 0.75 or greater, a low cardiac output as determined by Fick or Thermodilution (TD) technique (cardiac index \< 2.5 l/min/m2), systolic systemic arterial blood pressure of 90mmHg or less or requiring vasopressor or mechanical support to maintain systolic pressure \> 90mmHg. Patients with a PCWP of 14mmHg or less should receive intravascular volume repletion until their PCWP is \> 14mmHg.
  • Coronary angiography revealing either an occlusion of the RCA proximal to any RV marginal branch or evidence of diminished flow to RV marginal branches of the RCA.
  • If patient undergoes coronary revascularization, there must be evidence of unsuccessful right ventricular reperfusion (lack of restoration of TIMI grade III flow in the distal RCA and \> 1mm RV marginal branches) or evidence of hemodynamically significant RVI must persist for greater than 1 hour after successful revascularization.
  • Age 18 years or greater

Exclusion

  • PCW 25mmHg or greater or mechanical complications of myocardial infarction requiring surgical correction.
  • Severe LV systolic dysfunction as determined by the principal investigator. Unprotected left main coronary stenosis \> 50%.
  • Pulmonary infiltrates consistent with pulonary edema on chest X-ray (if chest X-ray is clinically indicated).
  • Evidence of shock-related end-organ damage, including creatinine 3.0 or greater, metabolic acidosis (pH 7.1 or less) and not corrected by 100 ml NaHCO3 (1mEq/ml), disseminated intravascular coagulation, or clinical evidence of diffuse brain injury.
  • Previous history of severe pericardial, congenital, or valvular heart disease.
  • Refractory hemodynamically significant arrhythmia.
  • Presence of pneumonia, adult respiratory distress syndrome, or sepsis.
  • Prior history of pulmonary disease requiring chronic oxygen therapy.
  • Pregnancy
  • Use of investigational drugs or device within the 30 days prior to enrollment to the study.
  • Uncontrolled active bleeding.
