angio-guided thrombus aspiration with monorail thrombus aspiration catheter (Eliminate, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan)
FD-OCT-guided thrombus aspiration with monorail thrombus aspiration catheter (Eliminate, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan); OCT images will be acquired at the site of culprit coronary artery with a commercially available system (Lunawave System; Fastview catheter/Terumo, Tokio, Japan OR C7 System; LightLab Imaging Inc; C7 Dragonfly catheter/St Jude Medical, Westford, MA)

RECRUITINGnumber of cross-sections with thrombus area more than 10% at post-stenting frequency-domain (FD) Optical Coherence Tomography
Whether FD-OCT guidance of manual thrombus aspiration (TA) is superior to conventional angio-guided TA in reducing residual thrombus burden after stenting (defined as the number of cross-sections with thrombus area more than 10% at post-stenting FD-OCT)
