The primary endpoints of the DEAR-MI study were a comparison of myocardial reperfusion according to ST-segment resolution and myocardial blush grade.
The primary endpoint is a combination of ST resolution, which is resolution of the EKG ST wave elevation injury pattern and the amount of distal embolization as measured by myocardial blush scores.
In patients presenting with an AMI, primary aspiration using the Export Aspiration Catheter is associated with a higher percentage of patients with ST segment resolution of greater than 50 percent at 60 minutes post procedure and/or a myocardial blush grade III immediately post-procedure than in patients with conventional stenting.
