Major adverse cardiac events rate at 9 months was 3.6%, including 1 definite acute stent thrombosis and 1 target‐vessel revascularization. Occlusion of a side branch (<2 mm) occurred in 2 cases (3.5%), embolization to a distal branch in 5 cases (8.9%), and transient no‐reflow in 4 cases (7.1%). Final TIMI 3 flow was achieved in 82% of cases, normal myocardial blush in 55%, and complete ST‐segment resolution in 59%. After MGuard stent implantation >85% of cases had thrombus score = 0. Results Fifty‐six patients were included. The study end‐points were proportion of final TIMI 3 flow, normal myocardial blush, and complete ST‐segment resolution. Lesions with a side branch ≥2 mm and patients with cardiogenic shock were not included. High thrombus burden was defined as thrombus burden grade 4 or 5 according to the TIMI score. Methods Single‐arm, prospective registry of patients with STEMI and high thrombus burden after aggressive thrombus aspiration treated with the MGuard stent. The MGuard is a novel mesh‐covered stent designed to minimize thrombus embolization. These patients may be at high risk of distal embolization and therefore impaired myocardial reperfusion.
#MGUARD STARTER GUIDE MANUAL#
Background In some patients with STEMI, a high thrombus burden may persist after manual aspiration. Objectives To assess the usefulness of the MGuard stent in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in whom a high thrombus burden persists after manual aspiration.
