F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.BACKGROUND Preclinical studies have demonstrated that high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer during an intravenous microbubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) can restore epicardial and microvascular flow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). OBJECTIVES This study tested the clinical effectiveness of sonothrombolysis in patients with STEMI. METHODS Patients with their first STEMI were prospectively randomized to either diagnostic ultrasound-guided high MI impulses during an intravenous Definity (Lantheus Medical Imaging, North Billerica, Massachusetts) infusion before, and following, emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or to a control group that received PCI only (n = 50 in each group). A reference first STEMI group (n = 203) who arrived outside the randomization window was also analyzed. Angiographic recanalization before PCI, ST-segment resolution, infarct size by magnetic resonance imaging, and systolic function (LVEF) at 6 months were compared. RESULTS ST-segment resolution occurred in 16 (32%) high MI PCI versus 2 (4%) PCI-only patients before PCI, and angiographic recanalization was 48% in high MI/PCI versus 20% in PCI only and 21% in the reference group (p < 0.001). Infarct size was reduced (29 +/- 22 g high MI/PCI vs. 40 +/- 20 g PCI only; p = 0.026). LVEF was not different between groups before treatment (44 +/- 11% vs. 43 +/- 10%), but increased immediately after PCI in the high MI/PCI group (p = 0.03), and remained higher at 6 months (p = 0.015). Need for implantable defibrillator (LVEF <= 30%) was reducedin the high MI/PCI group (5% vs. 18% PCI only; p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS Sonothrombolysis added to PCI improves recanalization rates and reduces infarct size, resulting in sustained improvements in systolic function after STEMI.

- Effects of Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel on Coronary Microcirculation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction(2022) SCANAVINI-FILHO, Marco Antonio; BERWANGER, Otavio; MATTHIAS, Wilson; AGUIAR, Miguel O.; CHIANG, Hsu P.; AZEVEDO, Luciene; BARACIOLI, Luciano M.; LIMA, Felipe G.; FURTADO, Remo H. M.; DALCOQUIO, Talia F.; MENEZES, Fernando R.; FERRARI, Aline G.; LUCA, Fabio de; GIUGLIANO, Robert P.; GOODMAN, Shaun; NICOLAU, Jose C.Introduction Clopidogrel has been demonstrated to be effective in improving coronary microcirculation (CM) among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with fibrinolytics. Ticagrelor is a more potent adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor blocker proven to be superior to clopidogrel among patients with acute coronary syndromes. The present study aimed to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on CM in patients with STEMI treated with fibrinolytics. Methods The present study prospectively included 48 patients participating in the TREAT trial, which randomly assigned patients with STEMI undergoing fibrinolysis to ticagrelor versus clopidogrel. The primary endpoint of this study was the evaluation of the CM using the global myocardial perfusion score index (global MPSI) obtained by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE). Platelet aggregation to ADP was evaluated by Multiplate (R) and expressed as area under the curve (AUC). Results The global MPSI demonstrated no differences between the groups [mean 1.4 (1.2-1.5) in the ticagrelor group and 1.2 (1.2-1.5) in the clopidogrel group (p = 0.41)]. Platelet aggregability was lower in the ticagrelor group (18.1 +/- 9.7 AUC), compared to the clopidogrel group (26.1 +/- 12.5 AUC, p = 0.01). Conclusion We found no improvement in coronary microcirculation with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel among patients with STEMI treated with fibrinolytics, despite the fact that platelet aggregation to ADP was lower with ticagrelor.
- Sonothrombolysis Improves Myocardial Dynamics and Microvascular Obstruction Preventing Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction(2020) AGUIAR, Miguel O. D.; TAVARES, Bruno G.; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; FAVA, Agostina M.; BORGES, Bruno C.; OLIVEIRA JR., Mucio T.; SOEIRO, Alexandre; NICOLAU, Jose C.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; CHIANG, Hsu P.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; GOLDSWEIG, Andrew; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; LOPES, Bernardo B. C.; RAMIREZ, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.; MATHIAS JR., WilsonBackground: It has recently been demonstrated that high-energy diagnostic transthoracic ultrasound and intravenous microbubbles dissolve thrombi (sonothrombolysis) and increase angiographic recanalization rates in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We aimed to study the effect of sonothrombolysis on the myocardial dynamics and infarct size obtained by real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography and their value in preventing left ventricular remodeling. Methods: One hundred patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction were randomized to therapy (50 patients treated with sonothrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention) or control (50 patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention only). Left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, risk area (before treatment), myocardial perfusion defect over time (infarct size), and global longitudinal strain were determined by quantitative real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography and speckle tracking echocardiography imaging. Results: Risk area was similar in the control and therapy groups (19.2 +/- 10.1% versus 20.7 +/- 8.9%; P=0.56) before treatment. The therapy group presented a behavior significantly different than control group over time (P<0.001). The perfusion defect was smaller in the therapy at 48 to 72 hours even in the subgroup of patients with no recanalization at first angiography (12.9 +/- 6.5% therapy versus 18.8 +/- 9.9% control; P=0.015). The left ventricular global longitudinal strain was higher in the therapy than control immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (14.1 +/- 4.1% versus 12.0 +/- 3.3%; P=0.012), and this difference was maintained until 6 months (17.1 +/- 3.5% versus 13.6 +/- 3.6%; P<0.001). The only predictor of left ventricular remodeling was treatment with sonothrombolysis: the control group was more likely to exhibit left ventricular remodeling with an odds ratio of 2.79 ([95% CI, 0.13-6.86]; P=0.026). Conclusions: Sonothrombolysis reduces microvascular obstruction and improves myocardial dynamics in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and is an independent predictor of left ventricular remodeling over time.
- The Impact of Sonothrombolysis on Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Left Atrial Mechanics Preventing Left Atrial Remodeling in Patients With ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction(2023) CHIANG, Hsu Po; AGUIAR, Miguel O. D.; TAVARES, Bruno G.; ROSA, Vitor E. E.; GOMES, Sergio Barros; OLIVEIRA, Mucio T.; SOEIRO, Alexandre; NICOLAU, Jose C.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; SBANO, Joao C.; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; FILHO, Roberto Kalil; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; PORTER, Thomas R.; MATHIAS, Wilson; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.Background: The diagnostic ultrasound-guided high mechanical index impulses during an intravenous micro -bubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) improve myocardial perfusion in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, but its effect on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD), left atrial (LA) mechanics and remodeling is unknown. We assessed the effect of sonothrombolysis on DD grade and LA mechanics. Methods: One hundred patients (59 +/- 10 years; 34% women) were randomized to receive either high mechan-ical index impulses plus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (therapy group) or PCI only (control group) (n = 50 in each group). Diastolic dysfunction grade and LA mechanics were assessed immediately before and after PCI and at 48 to 72 hours, 1 month, and 6 months of follow-up. Diastolic dysfunction grades were clas-sified as grades I, II, and III. The LA mechanics was obtained by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived global longitudinal strain (GLS).Results: As follow-up time progressed, increased DD grade was observed more frequently in the control group than in the therapy group at 1 month and 6 months of follow-up (all P < .05). The LA-GLS values were incre-mentally higher in the therapy group when compared with the control group at 48 to 72 hours, 24.0% +/- 7.3% in the therapy group versus 19.6% +/- 7.2% in the control group, P = .005; at 1 month, 25.3% +/- 6.3% in the ther-apy group versus 21.5% +/- 8.3% in the control group, P = .020; and at 6 months, 26.2% +/- 8.7% in the therapy group versus 21.6% +/- 8.5% in the control group, P = .015. The therapy group was less likely to experience LA remodeling (odds ratio, 2.91 [1.10-7.73]; P = .03). LA-GLS was the sole predictor of LA remodeling (odds ratio, 0.79 [0.67-0.94]; P = .006).Conclusion: Sonothrombolysis is associated with better DD grade and LA mechanics, reducing LA remodel-ing.
