Efficacy and safety of routine aspiration thrombectomy during primary PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A meta-analysis of large randomized controlled trials
Background: Recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have questioned the clinical efficacy and safety of routine aspiration thrombectomy (AT) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A systematic synthesis of these randomized data is hence very timely to address this clinical equip...

Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of the larger (>150 patients) RCTs that compared AT with only primary PCI. Procedural endpoints were myocardial blush grade (MBG) score of 0 or 1 and ST-segment resolution (STR) >50%.

While AT was associated with significantly improved myocardial perfusion, as demonstrated by the MBG score (OR = 0.69; p = 0.010), and improved rates of STR >50% (OR = 1.41; p = 0.006), there were no differences in mortality (OR = 0.89; p = 0.76), reinfarction (OR = 0.9; p = 0.47), target vessel revascularization (TVR; OR = 1.06; p = 0.67), and stroke rates (OR = 1.49; p = 0.29) >30 days after the procedure. Conclusion: Our meta-analysis of 20,605 patients who participated in large RCTs demonstrates improved MBG scores and STR >50% with AT compared with only PCI, but no differences were observed in mortality, reinfarction, TVR, and stroke rates at 30 days. Our study supports the latest ACC/AHA/SCAI focused update document that recommends against the routine use of AT during primary PCI.
