[The use of the RESCUE thromboaspiration system in acute coronary syndrome].
Interventional procedures associated with acute coronary syndromes or performed on saphenous bypass grafts frequently lead to embolic complications, resulting in no-reflow phenomenon, side-branch occlusion, or peri-procedural infarction. The RESCUE thrombo-aspiration system was used in 19 percutaneous coronary interventions. After initial use of the aspiration device, 81% of procedures were followed by stent deployment. TIMI flow 2 or higher was present in 42% at the beginning of the procedure and in 95% at the end. In-hospital MACE rate was 4.76%. This relatively user-friendly technique appears rapid and efficacious in the case of visible intracoronary thrombus.
