Is the Debate Over? Routine Thrombus Aspiration in STEMI (From TAPAS to INFUSE-AMI to TASTE to TOTAL) Stefan James Professor of Cardiology Uppsala Clinical Research Centre Uppsala University Uppsala, Sweden Potential conflicts of interest • AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Institutional Research grants/ consultant/Honoraria • The Medicines Company Research grant/ consultant/ Honoraria • Jansen consultant/ Honoraria • Bayer consultant/ Honoraria • Thermo Fisher Consultant/ Honoraria • Swedish Research Council Research grant • Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation Research grant • Strategic Research Council Research grant Impact of Macroscopic Distal Emboli Proximal LCX filling defect at primary PCI site Distal embolization occurred in 15% patients after primary PCI ↓ ST resolution ↑ Infarct size ↑ Mortality Distal thromboemboli Henriques JPS et al.
