Population

Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including urgent PCI for acute myocardial infarction

Intervention

Pharmacological and mechanical strategies (including antiplatelet therapy and manual thrombus aspiration devices)

Outcome

Diagnosis and occurrence of microvascular obstruction

This review highlights the importance of diagnosing and managing post-PCI microvascular obstruction, emphasizing antiplatelet pretreatment and manual thrombus aspiration in acute myocardial infarction.
