Abstract :Recently, distal embolization of thrombus and plaque debris, as assessed by angiography, has been identified as one of the major drawback of primary PCI in the setting of ST elevation myocardial infarction STEMI , limiting myocardial reperfusion and leading to larger myocardial damage and worse prognosis.
