Long Term Clinical Efficacy of Thrombectomy Devices in Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

NCT00766740 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 2686

Summary

Available data from randomized trials on thrombectomy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction have shown favourable trends on myocardial reperfusion. Better myocardial reperfusion may translate in better late clinical outcome. However, only few data are available on the impact of thrombectomy on long term clinical outcome.

Thus, the investigators designed a collaborative individual patient-data pooled-analysis aimed to assess the long-term clinical outcome in STEMI patients randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention with or without thrombectomy.

Conditions

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

DEVICE

thrombectomy devices

mechanical or manual devices able to remove thrombus from the coronary arteries.

DEVICE

angioplasty

percutaneous coronary angioplasty with use of balloon catheters and bare metal stents or drug eluting stents.
