Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficiency and safety of Percusurge guardwire distal protection system in coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Three male patients with acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in the study. Primary angioplasty was performed for 2 of them, 2 and 7 hours after onset of the infarction symptom, respectively. Selective angioplasty was performed 17 days after infarction for the third case. Percusurge guardwire system was used during the procedure. Results Procedure success was achieved for all of the 3 cases. Lot of thrombus was sucked out. The infarct-related arteries had TIMI 3 flow at the end of the procedures. The patients′ symptoms were resolved soon after the procedure. Minor dissection was seen in one case which did not obstruct the distal flow and was left alone. Conclusion Percusurge guardwire system can be used safely and effectively in coronary intervention in the thrombus-laden arteries such as acute myocardial infarction.
