Although percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been an effective treatment for primary reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction, patients with thrombolytic ineligibility, thrombolytic failure, cardiogenic shock, and vein graft occlusion remain at high risk for complications with PTCA treatment. The transluminal extraction catheter may be useful for treatment for such patients owing to its ability to aspirate thrombus. At 2 clinical centers, extraction atherectomy was prospectively evaluated in 100 patients (age 62 +/- 10 years). High-risk features included thrombolytic failure in 40%, postinfarct angina in 28%, presence of angiographic thrombus in 66%, presence of cardiogenic shock in 11%, and a saphenous vein graft occlusion in 29%. Procedural success, defined as a final residual stenosis <50% and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 2 or 3 grade flow, was seen in 94%. Events during the hospitalization included death in 5%, bypass surgery in 4%, and blood transfusion in 18%. In a substudy, patients enrolled at William Beaumont Hospital (n = 65) underwent elective predischarge angiography, which revealed a patent infarct-related vessel in 95%. These patients were also followed for 6 months with angiographic follow-up in 60%. Target vessel revascularization was necessary in 38%, and 6-month mortality was 10%. Although long-term vessel patency was 90%, angiographic restenosis occurred in 68%. Acute myocardial infarction patients can be treated with extraction atherectomy with a high technical success rate and a low incidence of complication. Infarct artery patency at 1 week and 6 months was excellent; however, angiographic restenosis remains a problem. Extraction of thrombus in this high-risk group of patients is associated with low in-hospital mortality and a high rate of vessel patency at 6 months. |
