Key result
Balloon recanalization in acute myocardial infarction increased pulmonary artery plasma chemotactic activity by 47% (P=0.001) and altered neutrophil function compared to baseline.
Why the study?
Does balloon recanalization of the infarct-related vessel in acute myocardial infarction induce the release of chemoattractants and neutrophil activation?

Should not alter reperfusion strategies in AMI; extends mechanistic insights into neutrophil activation post-recanalization.

Does balloon recanalization of the infarct-related vessel in acute myocardial infarction induce the release of chemoattractants and neutrophil activation?
Effect estimate: 47% increase
p-value: p=0.001
Successful recanalization by angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction triggers an immediate release of chemoattractants and subsequent neutrophil activation in the pulmonary circulation.
Neumann et al. (1994) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=15). Balloon recanalization vs. Before recanalization was evaluated on Chemotactic activity of plasma from the pulmonary artery (47% increase, p=0.001). Balloon recanalization in acute myocardial infarction increased pulmonary artery plasma chemotactic activity by 47% (P=0.001) and altered neutrophil function compared to baseline.
