Abstract
- Aims: Disturbance in the flow of an infarct-related artery due to embolisation of thrombus and plaque material occurs frequently during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with impaired prognosis. The aim of the present study was to minimise the risk of embolisation during PCI in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods and results: Of 124 consecutive patients with STEMI, thrombectomy and/or balloon dilatation was performed in 110 (89%). Stent implantation was deferred in 113 (91%) patients who then comprised the study group. In 38% of the patients stent implantation was deemed unnecessary at the second examination because of
