Randomized Comparison of Primary PCI with Combined Proximal Embolic Protection and Thrombus Aspiration versus Primary PCI Alone in STEMI The PREPARE Trial PRoximal Embolic Protection in Acute MI and Resolution of ST-Elevation Joost D.E.

Background Inadequate myocardial reperfusion relates to prognosis, even in the presence of adequate epicardial flow. Embolization of atherothrombotic material plays a crucial role in microvascular obstruction and impaired myocardial perfusion. The Proxis™ device is a combined system of proximal embolic protection and thrombus aspiration. The device has been shown feasible and safe in primary PCI*. The PREPARE Trial was designed to evaluate primary PCI with the Proxis system compared to primary PCI alone. *Koch KT et al. Rev Cardiovasc Med. 2007;8(3): 160-6

In conclusion The Proxis system is feasible and safe in the setting of STEMI, and effectively retrieves embolic debris in most patients. Complete STR was faster and more frequent in Proxistreated patients, withreduction of ECG injury current over time, compared to control patients. The results of the PREPARE trial suggest that primary PCI with combined proximal embolic protection and aspiration leads tobetter immediate microvascular flow in STEMI patients.
