Mechanical thrombectomy revisited is there any value?

Key Points

• The use of mechanical thrombectomy in STEMI with large amount of jeopardized myocardium may preserve regional wall motion
• When appropriate and done with proper removal technique, there does not appear to be any increased incidence of neurologic complications
• The guideline recommendation that mechanical thrombectomy should not be done routinely is supported by these authors
