GRACIA-2 Trial Primary Optimal Percutaneous Coronary Intervention versus Facilitated Intervention in STEMI patients Presented at European Society of Cardiology 2003
GRACIA-2 Trial 212 patients with acute ST elevation MI Presenting within 12 hours of symptom onset Enrolled at 15 centers in Spain and Portugal • Facilitated PCI • TNK bolus and enoxaparin immediately • Stent or CABG within 3-12 hours • (n = 104) • Optimal Primary PCI • PCI within 3 hours, with or without abciximab • (n = 108) • Endpoints (follow-up 6 months): • Primary – 1) Infarct size assessed by area under the curve for CKMB and troponin; 2) myocardial reperfusion by ST resolution at 1, 3, and 6 hours; and 3) LV angio at 6 weeks • Secondary – Death, MI, ischemic driven revascularization at 6 weeks and 6 months; Bleeding events European Society of Cardiology 2003
GRACIA-2 Trial: Results • Trial designed to determine if facilitated PCI is as safe and effective as optimal primary PCI alone • Time from randomization to catheterization: • 1.08 hours in the primary PCI arm • 5.89 hours in the facilitated PCI arm • Infarct size similar in both groups, as was LV ejection fraction evolution at 6 weeks European Society of Cardiology 2003

GRACIA-2 Trial • Angiographic data at initial angiography improved with facilitated PCI • Complete ST resolution at 6 hours improved with facilitated PCI • No increased bleeding with facilitated PCI • No significant difference in clinical outcomes, although sample size small (n=212) and underpwoered to show such a difference
