The Randomized Physiologic Assessment of Thrombus Aspiration in Patients with Acute ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Trial (PATA STEMI): Study Rationale and Design

Abstract: If manual thrombus aspiration significantly reduces microcirculatory resistance, thereby improving myocardial perfusion, it may become the routine strategy in primary PCI.

“…Myocardial infarction (MI) is the death of cardiomyocytes caused by obstruction of one or more arteries supplying the heart ( 1 , 2 ). Clinically, patients with MI often show a number of different symptoms including pain, fever and increased white blood cell count ( 3 ). The pivotal pathological characteristic after MI is cardiac fibrosis, which leads to cardiac remodeling and failure ( 4 , 5 ).…”
