DEDICATION. 81% received FilterWire, 13% SpideRx, and distal protection not possible in the remainder ST-segment resolution: 76% with embolic protection and 72% with PCI alone (p = 0.29) MACE: 5.4% with embolic protection and 3.2% with PCI alone (p = 0.17).

DEDICATION 81% received FilterWire, 13% SpideRx, and distal protection not possible in the remainder ST-segment resolution: 76% with embolic protection and 72% with PCI alone (p = 0.29) MACE: 5.4% with embolic protection and 3.2% with PCI alone (p = 0.17) Trial design:Patients with STEMI were randomized to embolic protection prior to PCI (n = 312) or PCI without embolic protection (n = 314). Results (p = 0.29) (p = 0.17) 76 72 % 5.4 3.2 Conclusions ST-resolution MACE • Embolic protection prior to PCI is not superior to PCI alone among patients with STEMI • Embolic protection does not improve ST-segment resolution or MACE PCI with embolic protection (n = 312) PCI with no embolic protection (n = 314) Kelbaek H, et al.
