TIMI flow

• TIMI 0 (no perfusion): absence of any antegradeflow beyond occlusion

• TIMI 1 (penetration without perfusion): faint antegrade flow beyond the occlusion with incomplete filling of the distal bed.

• TIMI 2 (partial reperfusion): delayed or sluggish antegrade flow with complete filling of the distal territory.

• TIMI 3 (complete perfusion): normal flow which fills the distal bed completely

AMM in SAMMPRIS

Do anti‐thrombotic “failures” have a differential benefit from PTAS? 

antithrombotic failures and AMM

• In the medical treatment arm, outcome event rates were similar among patients who had “failed” ATT and those who did not.

– ie. antithrombotic failures were not at higherie.  antithrombotic failures were not at higher risk of recurrent stroke   

• Patients on ATT at the time of the index TIA/stroke (63%) were still more likely to benefit from medical therapy than PTAS (P<0.0009 at 30 days and P=0.028 for long‐term follow up).

is there ever a role for PTAS
