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
