Risk of cerebrovascular stroke with primary percutaneous coronary intervention using thrombus aspiration device in stemi with high thrombus burden lesions: A single center experience

Abstract

Background: Early restoration of coronary flow in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) reduces mortality, high thrombus burden has a higher incidence of no-reflow, stent thrombosis, LV dysfunction, and mortality, thrombus aspiration can reduce thrombus burden, but recent data suggest higher stroke incidence.
