Summary

This session explores the challenges of managing high thrombus burden in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), with a focus on precision aspiration thrombectomy using the CAT RX device. Through case-based examples, it provides practical insights into procedural techniques and examines the role of CAT RX as both a frontline and bailout strategy. The session also addresses thrombus management in complex clinical scenarios and offers a preview of upcoming data in coronary aspiration.

Learning Objectives

  • To understand how to identify and manage the clinical consequences of high-thrombus burden
  • To apply best procedural strategies for high-thrombus burden PCI through stepwise decision making and case-based examples
  • To discuss future data on coronary aspiration
  • To approach thrombus management in complex clinical scenarios
