Highlights
Coronary artery thrombus aspiration is a simple, rapidly performed, and relatively inexpensive adjunctive therapy in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
A total of 7244 patients presenting with STEMI for whom PCI was planned were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to thrombus aspiration followed by PCI, or to PCI only
By 30 days, the incidence of the primary end-point did not differ between both groups (2.8% vs. 3.0% in the thrombus aspiration plus PCI and PCI-only groups respectively; p 1⁄4 0.63)
Summary
Coronary artery thrombus aspiration is a simple, rapidly performed, and relatively inexpensive adjunctive therapy in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary end point was all-cause mortality at 30 days. The secondary end points included 30-day rates of hospitalization for recurrent myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target-vessel revascularization (TVR), target-lesion revascularization (TLR), and the composite of all-cause mortality or recurrent myocardial infarction (MI).
