BackgroundMicroembolization during Primary PCI

In the AMI setting the “ no-flow”gphenomenon is caused by the distal embolization after the IRAOOPS!!reopening.

ConclusionIn this study Thrombectomy has been demonstrated to be safe and effective

in AMI setting during Primary PCI.

Compared with conventional stenting, in patients with intracoronary visibleand occlusive thrombus, pretreatment with manual aspiration thrombectomyduring primary PCI improves acutely the parameters of myocardial tissueperfusion and ST resolution in a well selected population.

MRI long term evaluation showed a reduction of microvascular damage inthe Thrombectomy group compared with the Control groupthe Thrombectomy group compared with the Control group.

In the Thrombectomy group setting resulted a reduction of microvasculardamage and infarct size in long term compared with acute evaluationdamage and infarct size in long term compared with acute evaluation.
