The primary objective is to evaluate if use of the AngioGuard™ XP improves myocardial reperfusion after PTCA as assessed by ST segment resolution at the end of PTCA.
This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter trial. Patients will be randomized either to be treated by PTCA only or in combination with the An-gioGuard™ XP device. The patients will be followed for six-months post-procedure.
