Brief Summary: In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction STEMI percutaneous coronary intervention PCI may cause thrombus dislodgment and impaired microcirculatory reperfusion This study was designed to test the hypothesis that thrombus aspiration before standard PCI may improve acute myocardial reperfusion measured by ST-segment resolution STR and myocardial blush grade MBG compared with standard PCI
Detailed Description: Consecutive STEMI patients admitted within 12 hours of symptom onset and scheduled for primary PCI are randomly assigned to two treatment strategies standard PCI including stenting and abciximab group1 or thrombus aspiration with Pronto extraction catheter Vascsolutions Minneapolis before standard PCI group2 Patients with cardiogenic shock previous infarction or thrombolytic therapy are excluded
