335 of patients with STEMI treated by primary PCI were assayed for PTX3 measurement by ELISA method using human PTX3 kit. Blood was drawn at the emergency department before primary PCI. The angiographic and clinical outcomes were evaluated and analyzed according to the PTX3 concentration. The angiographic outcome were thrombus grade on initial angiogram and final TIMI flow. The clinical outcome were ECG resolution after primary PCI and all-cause death at 30 days. The plasma PTX3 concentration was then compared based on the outcomes.
