Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The efficacy and safety of thrombectomy as an adjunct to primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are debated. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing primary PCI performed with versus without routine aspiration thrombectomy (AT). METHODS:A meta-analysis of randomized AT trials reporting clinical outcomes was done in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Trials reporting only non-clinical endpoints and those of technologies other than manual devices were excluded. The primary endpoint of this meta-analysis was mortality (either all-cause or cardiovascular). Secondary endpoints were reinfarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke. RESULTS:Seventeen randomized trials, involving 20,853 patients were included. Weighted mean follow-up was 9.3 ± 3.3 months. The rates of all-cause mortality (reported in 14 trials, n = 10,430) and cardiovascular mortality (reported in 6 trials, n = 11,810) did not differ significantly between patients treated with or without AT (4.6% vs. 5.3%, RR = 0.88 [95%CI = 0.75-1.04]; and, 3.0% vs. 3.7%, RR = 0.83 [95%CI = 0.68-1.01]; respectively). The rates of reinfarction and stent thrombosis were also similar in patients treated with versus those treated without AT (2.1% vs. 2.2%; RR = 0.96 [95%CI = 0.80-1.15]; and, 1.2% vs. 1.4%; RR = 0.84 [95%CI = 0.65-1.07], respectively). However, stroke rates were increased with AT (0.84% vs. 0.52%, RR = 1.56 [95%CI = 1.09-2.25]). CONCLUSIONS:Routine AT as an adjunct to primary PCI does not reduce the rates of death, reinfarction, or stent thrombosis, but is associated with increased stroke risk.
