Dr. Antonio Serra Hospital de Sant Pau, Hospital del Mar Barcelona How did I treat ? New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Option A : Balloon When does distal embolization occur in primary PCI? 400 consecutive patients with primary PCI: Distal embolization 64 / 400 (16%) Napodano M et al. TCT, 2005 New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Option A : Balloon Impact of distal embolization during primary PCI Henriques JP et al. The Zwolle Group. Eur Heart J 2002;23: Distal embolization 27 / 194 (14%) New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Option B : Direct Stenting How to choose the stent? TIMI 0-1 flow after crossing the occlusion with the guide wire Stent choice ? : Lenght…………… ? Diameter………… ? Guidance New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Option C: Aspiration Spanish TAPAS New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager Since the publication of the TAPAS trial, Aspiration in all acute MI became a Gold Standard in primary PCI. However, is aspiration useful in all patients with acute MI?

TAPAS trial Svilaas T et al. N Engl J Med 2008;358: Balloon (n=503) Export (n=502) 1071 Pts with acute MI + Abciximab EXPORT Catheter New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager No visible thrombus on angiogram: 51% EXPORT Catheter did not cross: 11% No material in the aspirate: 27% Amongst those with material in aspirate, 67.7% were platelet thrombi Size of aspirated material < 0.5mm in the majority of cases

TAPAS trial : Aspiration arm (n=502) EXPORT Not able to cross (n=54) Nothing in the aspirate (n=123) Thrombus < 0.5 mm (n=179) Thrombus > 0.5 mm (n=146) 11% 24.5% 35.7% 28.8% Thrombus > 2.0 mm : 61 / 331 pts = 18.4% New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Spanish Registry AMICath crossed the occlusion : 95% 100 consecutive pts with acute MI < 12 h and TIMI flow 0-1 after wire crossing TIMI 2-3 flow after AMICath : 85% Angiographically visible thrombus : 49% Thrombus aspiration : 18% Stent implant without pre-dilatation : 83% New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager

Should we routinely aspirate in all primary PCI cases ? In 60.2% of Cases -No aspirate OR -´Mini´ thrombus Catheter big profile - Plaque rupture - Spasm - Distal emboli Option C: Always aspiration first When thrombus is visible on angiography “SELECTIVE ASPIRATION” Guidance NO New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager When should we aspirate in primary PCI ?

Option D: Other alternatives New strategies and perfusion/aspiration devices for primary PCI Sandra Garcia Cruset, PhD. Cordynamic B.U. Marketing Manager Tip profile : 0.017”, like standard PTCA balloon The profile increases up to 1.5 mm 4 Radiopaque markers separated by 10 mm “High flow” distal holes Monorail system Hypotube design for max push Very flexible
