Key result
AngioJet thrombectomy and immediate stenting achieves ~95% procedure success in AMI with cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
Use of AngioJet thrombectomy has not been studied extensively in acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock.
Observational (n=19)
AngioJet thrombectomy with immediate stenting is a feasible and relatively safe reperfusion strategy that achieves high procedural success in patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock.

Should not yet change practice in AMI-cardiogenic shock; hypothesis-generating case series requiring randomized confirmation.
Taghizadeh et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock (n=19). AngioJet thrombectomy and immediate stenting was evaluated on Procedure success (final diameter stenosis < 50% and TIMI flow ≥ 2). AngioJet thrombectomy and immediate stenting achieved procedure success in 95% of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.
