E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective of this study is to determine in a randomized fashion the risks as well as the benefits of the addition of vitamin K antagonists to dual anti-platelet therapy in patients with primary PCI-treated AMI and LV thrombus formation. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
For the first time patients will be evaluated post-MI simultaneously with both cardiovascular as well as cerebral MRI. Patients with LV thrombus will be screened specifically for the occurrence of cerebral micro-embolization. Micro-embolization is a potential late complication of acute MI and post-infarct pharmacological therapy in patients with LV thrombus should aim at the prevention of both major thrombo-embolic events as well as silent ischemic stroke. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Suspected LV thrombus on echocardiography or routine MRI 2.Ongoing treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy (e.g. ASA and clopidogrel) at the time of randomization
|
1. Verdachte LV thrombus op echocardiografie of MRI 2. Huidige behandeling met duale antiplaatjes therapue (bijvoorbeeld aspirine en clopidogrel) |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
The following exclusion criteria are applied: 1 Younger than 18 2 Clinically or hemodynamically unstable 3 Treatment with vitamin K antagonist prior to PCI or other expected indication for vitamin K antagonist treatment (e.g. atrium fibrillation) within the next 6 months 4 Previous stroke or transient ischemic attack 5 Scheduled for major surgery (including CABG) during the course of the study 6 Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with vitamin K antagonists 7 Contra-indication for vitamin K treatment 8 Chronic treatment with NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors for more than 4 days per week anticipated to continue during the study 9 Congenital cardiac disease 10 Presence of supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias 11 Expected candidate for ICD implantation with the next 6 months 12 Severe renal impairment (estimated CrCl calculated by Cockcroft-Gault equation ≤ 30mL/min) 13 Known or symptomatic brain disease (e.g. brain tumor) 14 Women who are pregnant.
