Cardiology:

In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), what is the effect of routine upfront manual thrombectomy before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with PCI alone?
Randomized controlled trial (RCT) (Trial of Routine Aspiration Thrombectomy with PCI versus PCI Alone in Patients with STEMI [TOTAL]). ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01149044.
Concealed.*
Blinded* (outcome adjudication committee).
180 days.
87 hospitals in 20 countries.
10 732 adults > 18 years of age (mean age 61 y, 77% men) with STEMI who were referred for primary PCI within 12 hours of symptom onset. Exclusion criteria were previous coronary artery bypass grafting or fibrinolytic therapy.
