Thrombectomy: beneficial (if ever) only in highly selected patients Prof. Imad Sheiban University of Turin, Turin, Italy
CASE STUDY: ANTERIOR STEMIwiring and predilationwith NC balloon at 30 ATM undilatable and calcific culprit lesion: 2 NC Mercury 2.5x10 balloons had to be burst@30 ATM to open it
CASE STUDY: ANTERIOR STEMIfinalresultafter stenting 2 BMS (3.0x18 @ 18 ATM and 2.75x28 @16 ATM)
CASE STUDY: ANTERIOR STEMIfinalresultafter stenting WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THROMBECTOMY IN SUCH A PATIENT? NONE 2 BMS (3.0x18 @ 18 ATM and 2.75x28 @16 ATM)
FANCY DEVICES ROUTINELY USEFUL OR POINTLESS BUT IN HIGHLY SELECTED PATIENTS?
THE REMEDIA TRIAL Burzotta et al, JACC 2005
THE REMEDIA TRIAL No data on device-related dissections. Failure to deliver Diver CE: 1/48. Cross-over to no thrombectomy: 2/48. Burzotta et al, JACC 2005
THE DEAR-MI TRIAL Silva-Orrego et al, JACC 2006
THE DEAR-MI TRIAL Failure to deliver Pronto: 12/74 Silva-Orrego et al, JACC 2006
THE TAPAS TRIAL No device-related dissections despite inclusion of 500 patients. (???) No data on failure to deliver Export. Cross-over to no thrombectomy: 54/502. Svilaas et al, NEJM 2008
THE TAPAS TRIAL Vlaar et al, Lancet 2008
THE TAPAS TRIAL • Can webelievethis impact on survival? • Guessnot: • stentswereneverprovencapableofimprovingsurvival in STEMI; • itusuallytakesmuch >1000 ptsto prove mortality benefit in STEMI (e.g. GISSI enrolled 16000 ptsto prove thrombolysiswasbetterthan placebo). Vlaar et al, Lancet 2008
WHAT ABOUT ANGIOJET? NO WAY! AiMI trial – 480 patients with STEMI
ANY SYNTHESIS POSSIBLE? Burzotta et al, EHJ 2009
ANY SYNTHESIS POSSIBLE? All survival benefit driven only by TAPAS trial Burzotta et al, EHJ 2009

TAKE HOME MESSAGES • Active thrombectomy is too expensive and not risk-beneficial and thus should be discouraged in most cases • Manual thrombectomy can be attempted in selected cases with large thrombus burden in proximal lesions were lack of support or risk of dissection are not major issues • Most cases of STEMI can be managed with a highly selective use of manual thrombectomy, keeping balloon and stenting as the procedural workhorses
