ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Myocardial infarction is one of the most common types of coronary heart disease. The occlusion of coronary arteries and blood vessels leads to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, which in turn leads to cardiac interstitial fibrosis, gradual expansion of the ventricles, and heart failure, which affect the quality of life and safety of patients.

Research motivation

This study explored the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Research objectives

This study aimed to investigate the effects of emergency percutaneous interventional therapy (PCI) and delayed stenting in acute myocardial infarction with high thrombotic load and identify factors related to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Research methods

A total of 164 patients with acute myocardial infarction and high thrombotic load who received PCI were included.

Research results

After stent placement, 66 patients in the delayed group and 40patients in the immediate group were classified as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) blood flow grade 3, 61 patients and 39 patients in the delayed group. MACE occurred in 29 patients. The MACE group and the non-MACE group had statistically significant differences in the incidence of diabetes, TIMI classification, timing of stent placement, etc.

Research conclusions

Delayed stent implantation outweighs emergency PCI in improving postoperative myocardial perfusion in acute myocardial infarction with high thrombotic load, and effectively reduces MACE in these patients.

Research perspectives

It has certain reference significance for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
