The outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have improved in recent years with the more widespread adoption of definitive reperfusion therapies, including rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, despite the near universal restoration of normal epicardial flow following primary PCI for STEMI…

Over the last few decades, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has revolutionised the treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related epicardial vessel, resulting in smaller infarct size and a substantial reduction in adverse clinical endpoints.1,2 However, suboptimal myocardial reperfusion is documented to occur in a…

In treating thrombus-loaded lesions through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the settings of acute myocardial infarction (MI), saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS), distal embolisation is a recognised prevalent occurrence, adversely affecting reperfusion and mortality rates. Thus, efficient management of embolisation, in terms of both reduced occurrence and…

Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is…

The importance of embolisation in atherosclerotic vascular disease has recently undergone a major change in mindset. In the 1990s, it was considered a rare event confined to degenerated and aged saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). Lately, however, embolisation has become a major issue to contend with, not only in SVG but in all carotid artery stenting, in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in…
