Efficacy of Using 50 ml Syringe Manual Thrombectomy Catheter in Primary PCI With Heavy Thrombus Burden

Egypt88 participantsStarted 2024-04-01

Plain-language summary

In high thrombus burden subgroup of Acute STEMI, manual aspiration thrombectomy was associated with reduced cardiovascular death but increased stroke or transient ischemic attack. The role of aspiration thrombectomy is still a matter of active debate. Manual aspiration suffers from decreasing aspiration force as the syringe fills with fluid and requires the operator to exchange syringes during the procedure to maintain suction.
