| Popis: |
Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may demonstrate distal microvascular embolization of thrombotic materials. We retrospectively examined 20 cases displaying extensive thrombus in the infarct-related artery (IRA), treated either with a two-step procedure, with interim tirofiban infusion, or immediate stent implantation. Distal embolization tended to be more common in the latter strategy, but, overall, the outcome was comparable. Thus, a two-staged procedure may be considered in selected cases of primary PCI associated with high thrombus burden. |
