Abstract:

In recent years, clinical studies on manual thrombectomy unceasingly have been carried out, especially on the treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, study results are not consistent, which leads to doubts on extensive application of manual thrombectomy in the clinical practice. This article summarizes several representative clinical studies on the efficacy of treating STEMI with manual thrombectomy.
