What is Practical Perspectives on the Guidelines for Management of Coronary Thrombus about?

The removal of thrombus before any other step of intervention may dramatically decrease the risk of no flow, and has the potential for survival improvement; however, the optimal approach for thrombus-containing lesions is still evolving. Current management guidelines offer thrombus removal with standard mechanical aspiration catheters combined with pharmacotherapy; however, additional devices and techniques are available as well. These include proximal or distal antiembolic protection devices (EPDs) and higher technology devices with power-based mechanical energy allowing fragmentation and removal of thrombus. This concept is delineated in Chapter 12 in this book. Overall, our perspective is that studies of thrombectomy before stenting have produced conflicting results and there is no guideline-based consensus as to their routine use in lesions containing thrombus. Other direct thrombus management options include covered and self-expandable stents or deferred stenting after prolonged infusion of antithrombotic drugs. ## PHARMACOLOGICAL STRATEGIES FOR INTRACORONARY THROMBUS This topic is detailed in Chapter 12 in this book. In brief, the pharmacotherapy available in the cardiac cath
