Acute Myocardial Infarction

You Have a Critical Role in Flow Restoration
When a patient’s coronary blood flow is compromised, every second – and every heartbeat – matters. Thrombus removal allows for better visualization of underlying vessel morphology, which helps you select the most appropriate patient treatment. As a result, you’re poised to improve outcomes and minimize complications for your PCI patients.
Rapid coronary thrombus removal is critical in reducing risk of1:
- Abrupt vessel closure
- Death
- Myocardial infarction
- Emergency bypass surgery
Improved outcomes are associated with reduced costs2:
In addition to improving patient outcomes, coronary thrombus removal makes it possible for you to:
- Reduce re-hospitalization and re-intervention
- Lower target vessel revascularization
- Achieve reduction in late stent thrombosis
- Reduce the number and length of stent placed versus direct stent (DS)
