Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Aged >20 years, (2) a diagnosis of ACS, (3) native coronary artery lesions, (4) optical coherence tomography with sufficient quality before PCI, (5) successful thrombus aspiration with enough amount of thrombus. Recent guidelines and consensus documents indicated that routine thrombus aspiration is not recommended, but in cases of large residual thrombus burden, thrombus aspiration may be considered. Therefore, we performed athero-thrombotic aspiration only in patients who would have a merit of the aspiration procedure due to large thrombus burden.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) they have cardiogenic shock, (2) they have coronary bypass grafting (CABG), (3) they have contraindications to anticoagulation and anti-platelet therapy, (4) lesions located in tortuous vessels, in ostial segment, and in the left main stem are excluded from the study due to the difficulty in performing high-quality intracoronary imaging.
