Microvascular coronary flow comparison in acute myocardial infarction angioplasty treated with a mesh-covered stent versus bare metal stent
Background
Distal embolization of thrombus/platelet aggregates decreases coronary and myocardial reperfusion during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with worse immediate and long-term prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Objective
To assess the efficacy of the mesh-covered stent (MGuard, MG), a plaque/thrombus-trapping device, in preventing distal embolization and microvascular reperfusion impairment during primary PCI, compared with a bare metal stent (BMS).
