Exemple = 1 Image. Platelet. Erytrocytes. Leukocytes. Fibrin. Cholesterol. Mix Cell-Fibrin. LIMITATIONS. 1- Analysis of the main aspirated piece of the thrombus only. 2- Potential distortion during thrombo-aspiration. 3- Younger thrombus could be superimposed with an older one.

A crucial role for early anti-thrombotic treatment Platelet and thrombin inhibition with fast acting drugs especially in early presenters <3 hours
Conclusion • First human confirmation of the generally accepted pathogenesis of clot formation in vivo in patients presenting an acute coronary thrombosis (STEMI). • Highlight the crucial role of fast-acting platelet and thrombin inhibitor in STEMI presenters • Did not impact reperfusion in this limited size mechanistic study (n=911) • A potential prognostic marker that is linked to short and long-term mortality in previous study (Kramer et al. Circulation 2009)
