Background Optimizing microcirculation in STEMI patients with thrombus-containing lesion
undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains challenging. Our objective
was to compare the effects on myocardial perfusion and cardiac function of delayed vs
immediate stent implantation after thrombus aspiration in STEMI patients undergoing PCI.
Methods Eighty-seven STEMI patients with thrombus-containing lesion undergoing PCI
were enrolled. After thrombus aspiration was performed, subjects were divided into 2 groups …
