Trial 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… Read more about this study

About this study

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.

Read the 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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction and Acute Coronary Syndromes, run by Population Health Research Institute.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of Cardiovascular death (time frame: up to 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02552407, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2017.
