- Patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI can experience distal microvascular embolization due to thrombotic material.

- While embolization was more frequent in the immediate stent group, outcomes were similar overall, suggesting that a two-staged approach may be beneficial for certain patients with high thrombus levels.
