Abstract
Aim: The study investigated the short-term outcomes of thrombosuction during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Materials & methods: The study consisted of 57 patients who underwent primary or rescue PCI. The effect of thrombosuction onthrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow, failure to restore blood flow in the target vessel, and occurrence of mortality were reviewed in patients. Results: Thrombosis was performed in 45.61% of patients. Thrombosuction during PCI resulted in significant incremental TIMI-flow changes in this group of patients compared with patients who did just PCI. In 86.6%, these changes were three-degree and the initial TIMI-flow has changed from 0 to 3. Conclusion: The number of patients who underwent rescue PCI was higher than the smaller number of individuals who underwent thrombosuction.
