Early Discharge After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
A study testing early discharge in people with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Acibadem University at 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
When Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is performed expeditiously and at a high-volume centre, it is the optimal approach for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) . In contrast to the clarity of how to treat STEMI, there is no clear definition for when to discharge and which patient to discharge. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Early Discharge After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Randomized Multi-center Trial (the EDAP PCI Trial)
- When Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is performed expeditiously and at a high-volume centre, it is the optimal approach for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) . In contrast to the clarity of how to treat STEMI, there is no clear definition for when to discharge and which patient to discharge.
- An early discharge strategy may be desired by all parties (financial health care provider, treating physician, nurse, patient, patient's relatives)involved in STEMI.
- The main goal in our study is to test the hypothesis that an early discharge strategy within 48-56 hours in patients with successful PPCI is as safe as in those patients who stay longer (96-120 hours) as of a standard procedure.
Read the detailed description
- Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has become the optimal reperfusion strategy for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when the procedure is performed expeditiously and at a high-volume centre.In contrast to the clarity of how to treat STEMI, there is no clear definition for when to discharge and which patient to discharge.
- It is conceivable to discharge patients with successful PPCI as early as possible, because a hospital stay longer than needed may create undesirable outcomes in terms of hospital infections, psychosocial reasons, adequate mobilization and patient comfort. In many tertiary centres with a busy PPCI programme insufficient bed capacity is an ongoing concern and threatens the continuous acceptance of new cases of acute infarctions. In addition, it has been indicated that an early discharge policy may lead to a substantial cost saving.
- Although much work has been done in developing and validating risk scores that identify low risk patients, data on the implementation of early discharge strategies have been quite limited There are 3 randomised trials investigating the possibility of early discharge after PPCI. However, certain limitations of these studies are preventing to implement an early discharge strategy in all-comers, particularly because of the underrepresentation of older patients in clinical trials. The verification of this policy is also needed in patients with multivessel disease. The first prospective randomized trial, the PAMI II,7 is partly obsolete as major changes have been made in PPCI with respect to devices and adjunctive medication. The other two randomized trials were single-center pilot studies with small number of patients.
- Therefore, the above mentioned literature information warrants to test the reproducibility of safety endpoints in a large scale multicenter trial, prior to application of the early discharge strategy in clinical practice.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
early dischargeProcedure or surgery
In the early discharge group, patients are actively targeted for hospital discharge within 48-56 hours.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Early discharge group | Active comparator | In the early discharge group, patients are actively targeted for hospital discharge within 48-56 hours. Receives: Procedure: early discharge |
| Standard discharge group | No intervention | Patients who stay longer (96-120 hours) as of a standard procedure |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
All Cause Mortality and Readmission at 30 Days.
The primary end points were all cause mortality by 1 month and readmission due to reinfarction, unstable angina, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, revascularization, stroke or major bleeding at 1 month.
Measured: 30 DAYS

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing early discharge in people with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Acibadem University at 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Apr 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
All Cause Mortality and Readmission at 30 Days. (time frame: 30 DAYS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01860079, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2016.
