Side-hole catheters have higher thrombus aspiration efficiency than regular end-hole catheters in an in vitro model [PDF]
PURPOSEWe aimed to evaluate and compare thrombus aspiration efficiency between side-hole and end-hole thrombus-aspirating catheters.METHODSUsing an in vitro model of acute thrombus occlusion, we performed thrombus aspiration with two catheter designs ...

Thrombus Aspiration in Patients With High Thrombus Burden in the TOTAL Trial
Routine thrombus aspiration in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) does not improve clinical outcomes. However, there is remaining uncertainty about the potential benefit in those patients with high thrombus burden, where there is a biological rationale for greater ...

Background: A direct aspiration, first-pass thrombectomy (ADAPT) has become the standard technique for thrombus removal and involves contact aspiration with a large-bore suction catheter. However, thrombus retrieval can prove difficult in cases where the

In vitro investigation of a new thrombus aspiration and autologous blood reinfusion system [PDF]
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of a new venous-thrombus aspiration and autologous blood (auto-blood) reinfusion system. Materials and methods: We constructed the venous model from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes and three ...

Requiem for routine thrombus aspiration. [PDF]
Interventional cardiologists share a feeling of accomplishment having just aspirated a particularly large thrombus from a coronary artery in a patient with myocardial infarction. Narcissistic personalities even call for a colleague to inspect and worship the feat.

Addition of eptifibatide and manual thrombus aspiration to ticagrelor does not improve long-term survival after STEMI treated with primary PCI [PDF]
Background: Current guidelines recommend that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) and manual aspiration thrombectomy should not be routinely used in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous ...

A Case Report of Stuck Thrombus Aspiration Catheter (Thrombuster) in Left Anterior Descending Artery of A 59‐Year‐Old Patient Undergoing PCI for Revascularization [PDF]
Hardware entrapment during percutaneous coronary intervention is a significant complication necessitating proactive anticipation by interventionists. Here we present a case of a 59‐year‐old man with a history of stent placement in LAD 1 month back, who ...
