Core Tip	Thrombus embolization is highly detected in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) leading to unfavorable clinical outcomes. To prevent thrombus embolization, manual thrombus aspiration (TA) receives a high recommendation during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by clinical practice guidelines. However, the TASTE trial, recently published, showing no impact of manual TA on short-term mortality, has reopened the debate about the role of this technique in STEMI. This study is one the first showing that manual TA optimizes stent implantation during primary PCI resulted in more efficient procedures, leading to the implantation of fewer, shorter and larger stents.
