About this trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to preliminarily evaluate the safety and feasibility of the transcatheter injectable protein alginate-based hydrogel developed and manufactured by Myomed Technology (Shaoxing) Co., Ltd. in alleviating reperfusion injury in acute STEMI. This is a randomized controlled trial with a blank control group (conventional PCI treatment). A total of 20 patients will be enrolled in a 1:1 ratio into the test group and the control group.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Aged 18 to 80 years;

Diagnosed with first-onset acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), requiring primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent implantation;

Ischemic symptoms (e.g., chest pain, precordial discomfort) persist for >30 minutes, and electrocardiographic findings meet the following criteria: ST-segment (J-point) elevation ≥1.0 mm (i.e., amplitude 0.1 mV) in all conventional leads except leads V2 and V3. For leads V2 and V3, the ST-segment elevation criteria are: ≥2.5 mm in males <40 years old, ≥2.0 mm in males ≥40 years old, and ≥1.5 mm in females of all ages;

The time interval from the onset of ischemic symptoms to the first PCI balloon dilation is ≤12 hours;

Disqualifiers

Complicated with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest; or complicated with acute myocardial infarction mechanical complications requiring surgical or interventional intervention (e.g., ventricular septal perforation, papillary muscle rupture, free wall rupture), or complicated with giant left ventricular aneurysm;

Previously diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease, severe valvular heart disease, chronic cor pulmonale, chronic heart failure, or with a history of cardiac tamponade, pericarditis, or myocarditis;

History of previous myocardial infarction, coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG);

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 3 months;
