Impact of oral P2Y12 inhibitors on residual thrombus burden and reperfusion indexes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Conclusion: Prasugrel loading dose was associated with a lower percentage of cross-sections with residual thrombus area more than 10% as compared with both clopidogrel and ticagrelor, although intrastent thrombus volume was not significantly different between prasugrel and ticagrelor. The frequency of MBG 3 was the only reperfusion index that was significantly more prevalent in prasugrel treated group as compared with clopidogrel and ticagrelor groups.
