Why the study?
Does large coronary thrombus size increase the risk of angiographic no-flow during primary PTCA in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Does large coronary thrombus size increase the risk of angiographic no-flow during primary PTCA in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Large coronary thrombus size is significantly associated with a higher incidence of angiographic no-flow during primary PTCA for acute myocardial infarction, suggesting distal thromboembolism plays a key role.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Large thrombus size signals elevated no-flow risk during primary PTCA; hypothesis-generating for targeted therapies pending prospective trials.
Hokimoto et al. (1999) studied this question.
