Thrombus Aspiration in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Presenting Late After Symptom Onset.

چکیده
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine whether manual thrombus aspiration reduces microvascular obstruction assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting late after symptom onset. BACKGROUND Thrombus aspiration is an established treatment option in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there are only limited data on the efficacy of thrombus aspiration in patients with STEMI presenting ≥12 h after symptom onset. METHODS Patients with subacute STEMI presenting ≥12 and ≤48 h after symptom onset were randomized to primary PCI with or without manual thrombus aspiration in a 1:1 ratio. Patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging 1 to 4 days after randomization. The primary endpoint was the extent of microvascular obstruction. RESULTS A total of 152 patients underwent randomization. The mean time between symptom onset and PCI was 28 ± 12 h. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups. The majority of patients (60%) showed at least a moderate amount of viable myocardium in the affected region. Extent of microvascular obstruction was not significantly different between patients assigned to thrombus aspiration and the control group (2.5 ± 4.0% vs. 3.1 ± 4.4% of left ventricular mass, p = 0.47). There were also no significant differences in infarct size, myocardial salvage, left ventricular ejection fraction, and angiographic and clinical endpoints between groups. CONCLUSIONS In this first randomized trial of thrombectomy in patients with STEMI presenting late after symptom onset, routine thrombus aspiration before PCI failed to show a benefit for markers of reperfusion success.

Patterns of ST segment resolution after guidewire passage and thrombus aspiration in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for acute myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND ST segment elevation allows the rapid identification of patients with acute myocardial infarction who benefit from emergency reperfusion. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has emerged as the preferred perfusion strategy for patients presenting with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the effects of the simple passage of...

BACKGROUND Whether intralesional abciximab administration and thrombus aspiration confer clinical benefits to patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction is controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 452 patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction caused by proximal or mid left anterior descending artery occlusi...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated safety and efficacy of upfront thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND Distal embolization during primary PCI results in reduced myocardial perfusion and poor clinical outcomes. METHODS The VAMPIRE (VAcuuM asPIration thrombus REmoval) study was ...

BACKGROUND administration of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor abciximab is an effective adjunctive treatment strategy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Although small-scale studies have suggested beneficial effects of intracoronary over intravenous administration of abciximab, this has not been investigated in a medium-scale ran...
