Background: Thrombectomy was an important treatment tool for simple, rapid percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a reduced cost. It has been shown to improve coronary blood flow and to resolve ST segment elevation. The single-centered Thrombus Aspiration during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction Study of 1,071 patients showed some benefit in survival after thrombectomy; however, there has been an increase in risk in some published studies. Objective: To determine post - thrombectomy clinical follow - up in patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation, through mortality; complications; stay. Material and methods: This is a quantitative, observational, cross-sectional research. The universe was constituted by 115 clinical histories of patients postrombectomia mecánica of the Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga (HJCA). A form with variables related to socio demographic and clinical data was used. Statistical tabulation was done with the SPSS program. Results: The study demonstrated a death rate of 6.1%, similar to those found in the international literature. Of the 115 patients, 81.7% were males, with an average age of 62, 99 years. 25.2% presented complications after the technique, with a hospitalization time in 44.3% less than 3 days. Conclusions: It was determined that the mortality rate (6.1%) was similar to that of other studies, with men being more affected, those with a functional class I, and a positive association between older age and the development of mostly immediate complications and longer hospitalization time
