[The comparison of thrombectomy catheters by primary transcutaneous coronary surgery]
Abstract:
Treatment results of 44 cases of myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation were analyzed. Patients were divided in 2 groups. The first group (n=21) received the transcutaneous coronary intervention with the use of catheters for rheolythic thrombectomy. The second group (n=23) received the intervention with catheters for the manual thrombectomy. Patients from the 1st group demonstrated reliably better results considering adequate reperfusion, registered angio- and electrocardiographically. There were no cases of arterial dissection or vessel perforation in both groups. There were two lethal hospital outcomes among patients of the manual thrombectomy group.
