Abstract: Ischemic postconditioning protects against reperfusion injury. Adjunctive use of manual thrombus aspiration improves reperfusion results in patients undergoing primary angioplasty. Combining both strategies (ischemic postconditioning and thrombus aspiration) may have additive effects in terms of myocardial salvage. The PORT trial will study the role of ischemic postconditioning in patients undergoing primary angioplasty with thrombus aspiration.
