Study aim
-
Evaluating the safety and feasibility of collagen patch with Follistatin-like 1 for heart failure following ST segment elevation myocardial injury
-
Design
-
Single-arm study , open label, 9 patients (3 in the feasibility and 6 in safety phase)
-
Settings and conduct
-
At Tehran Heart Centre patients undergo the intervention and are followed for 6 months.
-

-
Intervention groups
-
In the feasibility group, bioengineered collagen patch are transferred to infarct area during coronary artery bypass grafting . In the "safety" phase, patches are loaded with "follistatin like 1" and then transferred to the infarct area.
-
Main outcome variables
-
1.Feasibility (stiffness, suture ability, physio-mechanical properties)
2.Safety(death, rejection, allergic reaction, new myocardial infarction , new arrhythmia, pericardial effusion, tamponade, liver/kidney adverse effects)
3.Cardiac function
