Why the study?
What are the independent predictors of suboptimal TIMI flow (<3) after primary PCI for STEMI, and how does it impact long-term mortality?
What are the independent predictors of suboptimal TIMI flow (<3) after primary PCI for STEMI, and how does it impact long-term mortality?
Failure to achieve normal TIMI 3 flow after primary PCI for STEMI occurs in approximately 13% of patients, is driven by specific clinical and angiographic factors, and remains a powerful predictor of long-term mortality.

Identifies predictors of suboptimal reperfusion after STEMI PCI; may aid risk stratification but leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.
Caixeta et al. (2013) studied this question.
