Complementary prognostic utility of myocardial blush grade and ST-segment resolution after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: analysis from the HORIZONS-AMI trial.

TLDR
In HORIZONS-AMI, MBG and STR after primary PCI were concordant in only 70% of patients and provided complementary prognostic information, whereas myocardial blush grade predicted long-term survival, whereas STR predicted freedom from repeated revascularization.

Aspiration Thrombectomy for Treatment of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: a Meta-analysis of 26 Randomized Trials in 11,943 Patients.

TL;DR: Among unselected patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, aspiration thrombectomy-assisted primary percutaneous coronary intervention does not improve clinical outcomes, despite improved epicardial and myocardIAL parameters of reperfusion.

Intracoronary infusion of alprostadil and nitroglycerin with targeted perfusion microcatheter in STEMI patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon

TL;DR: Alprostadil can effectively alleviate CSFP, which is at the same time secure even for STEMI patients, and in this study, intracoronary infusion of alProstadil with targeted perfusion microcatheter hardly affected the blood pressure and heart rate of Patients, and no threaten complication were observed.

Trombectomía por aspiración para el tratamiento del infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST: un metanálisis de 26 ensayos aleatorizados con 11.943 pacientes

TL;DR: A pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio con elevacion del segmento ST no seleccionados, the intervencion coronaria percutanea primaria asistida mediante trombectomia por aspiracion no mejora los resultados clinicos pese a la mejor de los parametros de reperfusion epicardio.

Novel application of quantitative flow ratio for predicting microvascular dysfunction after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: This study evaluated quantitative flow ratio (QFR) to predict microvascular dysfunction (MVD) in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and found no significant relationships between QFR and MVD.

Clinical End Points in Coronary Stent Trials A Case for Standardized Definitions

TL;DR: Criteria for assessment of death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stent thrombosis were developed and provide consistency across studies that can facilitate the evaluation of safety and effectiveness of these devices.

Primary angioplasty versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction : A quantitative review of 23 randomised trials

TL;DR: The results seen with primary PTCA remained better than those seen with thrombolytic therapy during long-term follow-up, and were independent of both the type of throm bolytic agent used and whether or not the patient was transferred for primary P TCA.

Angiographic Assessment of Myocardial Reperfusion in Patients Treated With Primary Angioplasty for Acute Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Blush Grade

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the value of angiographic evidence of myocardial reperfusion (myocardial blush grade) in relation to the extent of ST-segment elevation resolution, enzymatic infarct size, left ventricular function, and long-term mortality.
