Background-Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with inflammation. However, it remains unclear whether it originates from the ruptured plaque or represents a systemic process.Methods and Results-In 42 patients with AMI, a balloon-based embolization protection device and aspiration catheter (PercuSurge) were used during acute coronary interventions. Samples from the site of the ruptured plaque were taken under distal balloon occlusion. Systemic samples were taken from the aorta. Sera, plaques, and thrombi were analyzed for inflammatory markers and lipoproteins. Systemic levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and serum amyloid A (SAA) in the aorta amounted to 3.0 mg/L, 5.0 ng/L, and 22.1 mg/L, respectively (interquartile ranges [IQRs], 1.1 to 7.4 mg/L, 5.0 to 6.5 ng/L, and 13.9 to 27.0 mg/L, respectively). In blood surrounding ruptured plaques, local levels of IL-6 (8.9 ng/L; IQR, 5.0 to 16.9 ng/L) and SAA (24.3 mg/ L; IQR, 16.3 to 44.0 mg/ L) were significantly higher, whereas CRP levels (2.5 mg/L; IQR, 0.9 to 7.7 mg/L) were decreased compared with the aorta (all P
