Early reperfusion with angioplasty and stenting is established as a central, effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The role of thrombectomy prior to angioplasty remains to be elucidated. To evaluate its feasibility, safety, and efficacy, thrombectomy using a TVAC aspiration catheter system was attempted prior to angioplasty and stenting in 40 consecutive patients with AMI.
