Infarct size assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance and peak troponin I after aspiration thrombectomy and intracoronary abciximab assisted primary percutaneous coronary intervention in a real-world cohort of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single-center study

Conclusions In a retrospective real world cohort of patients with STEMI, no difference was found in infarct size assessed by CMR or peak TnI between the groups with and without thrombectomy. TnI-24h as well as final TIMI flow predicts infarct size.
