0197: Angiographically visible distal embolization is not linked with culprit lesion but with clinical characteristics

2016

Despite the recent improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), angiographically visible distal embolization (AVDE) complicates 6 to 18% of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with PCI, and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Culprit lesion characteristics have been proved to be the main predictive factor of AVDE. But data regarding clinical characteristics predicting AVDE are lacking. We aimed to identify predictors of AVDE complicating PCI in STEMI management. 769 consecutive patients admitted for STEMI who underwent PCI were included. Clinical, angiographic and therapeutics characteristics were assessed for each patien. AVDE was defined as an abrupt ves…
