Impact of Thrombus Aspiration on Mortality, Stent Thrombosis, and Stroke in Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Report From the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry

Structured PICO

Does thrombus aspiration reduce mortality, stent thrombosis, and stroke in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction?

Population

Patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry

Intervention

Thrombus aspiration

Comparator

Control group (implied standard PCI without thrombus aspiration)

Outcome

Mortality, stent thrombosis, and strokehard clinical

In a real-world registry of STEMI patients, thrombus aspiration did not improve mortality but was associated with a lower risk of stent thrombosis, confirming the external validity of previous randomized trials.

Abstract

Mortality was not different between the groups. Thrombus aspiration was associated with decreased risk of stent thrombosis. Our study provides important evidence for the external validity of previous randomized studies regarding mortality.
