Impact of thrombectomy on the outcome of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Background: Clinical trials of thrombus aspiration in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have reported conflicting results. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of thrombectomy on mortality and in-hospital complications in a real world STEMI population. Methods: STEMI patients reperfused with primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) included in a...
