Effect of thrombus aspiration on microcirculatory resistance and ventricular function in patients with high thrombus burden

Abstract: Background: Studies have not demonstrated consistent outcomes following thrombus aspiration in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PPCI). We investigated the relationship between thrombus aspiration and microvascular obstruction as measured using Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR) immediately following PPCI and Left Ventricle Function Improvement measured using Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) six months following PPCI. Our aim is to determine microvascular obstruction and left ventricle functi… Show more

“…The correct and effective assessment and management of lesions with high thrombus burden are key issues to further improving the short- and long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. Tirofiban and thrombus aspiration are currently used to treat STEMI with a high thrombus burden to a certain extent, but such treatment is ineffective in some cases, making it difficult to meet clinical needs [ 24 , 25 ].…”
