Randomized Comparison of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Combined Proximal Embolic Protection and Thrombus Aspiration Versus Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Alone in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
JACC - Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions, 10/26/09

Haeck JDE et al. – There was no significant difference in complete STR at 60 min in this proof–of–concept study. However, the authors observed a significant difference in immediate complete STR in Proxis–treated patients, better STR at later time points, and a reduction of electrocardiogram injury current over time, compared with control patients. The results suggest that primary PCI with the Proxis system may lead to better immediate microvascular flow in ST–segment elevation myocardial infarction patients.
