Intracoronary Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors Improve Short-Term Mortality and Reinfarction in East Asian Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction after Thrombus Aspiration: A Meta-Analysis

Figure 4

(a) Meta-analysis of postoperative TIMI grade 3 flow between thrombus aspiration plus intracoronary GPIs and PCI alone; (b) meta-analysis of postoperative complete ST resolution (STR) between thrombus aspiration plus intracoronary GPIs and PCI alone; (c) meta-analysis of LVEF before discharge or at the short-term follow-up between thrombus aspiration plus intracoronary GPIs and PCI alone. TIMI: the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction trial; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; TA: thrombus aspiration; IC: intracoronary; GPIs: glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors; PCI: percutaneous coronary interventions.
