Application of Guidezilla Extension Catheter in Thrombus Aspiration During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) poses a significant threat to human health and safety, representing a coronary heart disease that can affect human life. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered the optimal method for saving the lives of AMI patients and optimizing treatment outcomes in emergency settings. However, over the years of research and clinical data, it has been observed that PCI also has certain limitations, such as the occurrence of a no-reflow phenomenon or the re-occlusion of small arteries in the distal myocardium by small thrombi. Therefore, based on recent research, this article aims to elaborate on the effectiveness and safety of the Guidezilla extension catheter in thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention, while comparing it with traditional aspiration catheters. The objective is to provide clinicians with new treatment options and improve patient outcomes.
