METHODS: A total of 83 patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI were included in the current study. Platelet-leukocyte conjugates (PLA), including platelet-monocyte aggregates (PMA), platelet-neutrophil aggregates (PNA) and platelet-lymphocyte aggregates were studied by flow cytometry in peripheral venous blood. No-reflow was defined as coronary blood flow grade thrombolysis in myocardial infarction
