Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyMesh-covered embolic protection stent implantation in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction: final 1-year clinical and angiographic results from the MGUARD for acute ST elevation reperfusion trial.
The MGuard, a bare metal stent covered with a polymer mesh, was designed to reduce distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. In the MGUARD for Acute ST Elevation Reperfusion trial, the primary end point of complete ST-segment resolution was significantly improved with the MGuard compared with control. We evaluated 1-year clinical and angiographic results. ⋯ http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01368471.
