| Popis: | During percutaneous coronary intervention, slow coronary flow and distal embolization are still important problems, especially in cases with intracoronary thrombus. The aim of this study was to learn the effectiveness and early term results of thrombectomy with the X-SIZER catheter system in acute coronary syndrome. Twenty-nine patients (22 [76%] men; 55.9 ± 11.1 years) with acute coronary syndrome and intracoronary thrombus detected in coronary angiography were included into the study. X-sizer thrombectomy was applied to 14 of the patients, and conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was applied to the others. Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. Mean thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow increased from 0.8 ± 0.9 to 2.4 ± 0.6 in X-sizer-treated patients (p |
