Requiem for routine thrombus aspiration

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Interventional cardiologists share a feeling of accomplishment having just aspirated a particularly large thrombus from a coronary artery in a patient with myocardial infarction. Narcissistic personalities even call for a colleague to inspect and worship the feat. However, the satisfying visual feedback of thrombus aspiration might lead to flawed conclusions.
