Abstract
Background: In patients with STEMI, PCI cause thrombus dislodgment leadingto microvascular function impairment, which is a negative independent predictor of myocardial function recovery. Compared with conventional stenting, pretreatment with aspiration thrombectomy during PPCI has been proposed to prevent embolization in order to improve outcomes Aim: Evaluation of value of thrombus aspiration devices in primary PCI compared to conventional primary PCI.Patients and methods: The study included 60 patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI, patients were divided : Group A: 30 patients subjected to primary PCI only Group B: 30 patients subjected to thrombectomy device before primary PCI.Results: The study showed a statistically significant difference among both studied groups regarding post-thrombectomy TIMI flow grade.Our study showed a statistically significant difference among both studied groups regarding post-thrombectomy thrombus score 1, 2 and 3%, as 93.3% of group II had score
