Thrombectomy in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, an Individual Patient Meta-analysis
- Conditions
- Acute Coronary SyndromesMyocardial Infarction
- Registration Number
- NCT02552407
- Lead Sponsor
- Population Health Research Institute
- Brief Summary
During primary percutaneous coronary intervention, distal embolization of thrombus and impaired microvascular perfusion has been associated with an increased mortality. Thrombectomy devices during primary percutaneous coronary intervention may prevent distal embolization by reducing thrombus burden and thus improve microvascular perfusion and reduce mortality.
- Detailed Description
An individual patient meta-analysis of large randomized controlled trials comparing manual thrombectomy versus percutaneous coronary intervention alone in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction will provide significantly more power to detect differences in mortality as well as important but rare events such as stroke and to assess benefits in pre-defined subgroups.
