Abstract
Several studies have reported that the use of a distal protection device decreases the incidence of slow-flow and/or no-reflow in patients with myocardial infarctions. In the present study, we investigated the influence of a RESCUE/Thrombuster system and a PercuSurge GuardWire catheter on coronary microcirculation disorders in patients with acute myocardial infarction using the natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin myocardial scintigraphy (TF). The group consisted of a 77 patients with initial inferior myocardial infarction who had undergone emergency coronary angioplasty. The patients were randomly divided into: Group D (n=28), in which a direct stent alone was inserted, Group R/T (n=25), in which a stent was inserted after RESCUE system or a Thrombuster system was performed, and Group P (n=24), in which a stent was inserted after thrombus suction using a PercuSurge GuardWire catheter. Patients with coronary slow-flow/no-reflow were 3, 2 and 0 cases in Group D, Group R / T and Group P, respectively. In the present study, patients with good-reflow were enrolled in order to investigate the coronary microcirculation disorder in patients with visually similar coronary blood flo...Continue Reading
