- 98 successful delivery of thrombectomy
catheters - 98 Manual system
- 100 Rheolytic system
- 1 crossover from Manual to Rheolytic system,
which was successfully delivered to the culprit
lesion - No coronary complications associated with
thrombectomy (0 dissections, 0 perforations) - No prolonged asystole with Rheolytic system in
RCAs (never placed temporary pacemaker before
aspiration)

25Conclusions
- Thrombectomy was not associated with a
significant reduction in infarct size at 3-month
MRI, even in a high-thrombus burden STEMI
population - However, thrombectomy was associated with a
significantly higher rate of complete STE
resolution, and of post-procedural myocardial
perfusion grade 3, and with a lower rate of final
TIMI 2 flow
26Conclusions
- Thrombectomy was associated with a different MRI
pattern of myocardial scar at 3 months, with less
microvascular obstruction and with areas of
viable tissue interspersed with necrotic areas - No significant difference was observed regarding
1-year freedom from MACEs - Angiojet was superior to Export in terms of
thrombus removal, but not regarding procedural
and MRI results
27Conclusions
- The lack of benefit in terms of infarct size
might be related to - little role of the prevention of
thrombo-embolization during primary PCI in
reducing final infarct size - excellent myocardial referfusion in the standard
PCI group (clopidogrel pre-load abciximab) - imbalance between groups, favoring standard PCI
group (shorter pain-to-balloon time)
