UCR Uppsala Clinical Research Center Thrombus Aspiration in ST- Elevation myocardial infarction in Scandinavia (TASTE trial) Ole Fröbert, MD, PhD - on behalf of the TASTE investigators Departement of Cardiology Örebro University Hospital Sweden Main results at 30 days
Background • Intracoronary thrombus aspiration may reduce distal embolization and improve reperfusion • No previous randomized trial on thrombus aspiration has been powered for hard endpoints • Current ESC recommendation: class IIa with a level of evidence B
TAPAS / Swedish registry data PCI alone (N=16 417) TA+PCI (N=3 666) HR (95% CI): 1.21 (1.08-1.35) Vlaar, P.J. et al. The Lancet 2008; 371:1915-20 Fröbert, O. et al. Int J Cardiol. 2010; 145:572-3
Methods (1) • All 29 Swedish, 1 Icelandic and 1 Danish PCI center • Inclusion criteria • STEMI and ability to provide oral consent • <24 h symptoms • correspondence between ECG and angio findings • Exclusion criteria • need for emergency CABG • age <18 years • previous randomization in TASTE • 1:1 randomization to manual thrombus aspiration and PCI vs. PCI alone
Methods (2) • Endorsed aspiration catheters • Eliminate (Terumo), Export (Medtronic) and Pronto (Vascular Solutions) • Anticoagulation and platelet inhibition according to current guideline recommendations • Primary endpoint • time to all-cause death at 30 days • Secondary endpoints • time to rehospitalization with reinfarction at 30 days • time to stent thrombosis at 30 days
Methods (3) • TASTE introduces the Registry-based Randomized Clinical Trial (RRCT) concept • Online health quality registries (SCAAR and SWEDEHEART) serve as on-line platforms for: • randomization • case record forms • follow-up
TASTEtrial enrollment flow chart Enrolled in Denmark N=247 All patients with STEMI in Sweden and Iceland undergoing primary or rescue PCI. N=11 709 *) Enrolled in TASTE N=7259 Not enrolled N=4697 Erroneous enrollments N=15 Randomized in TASTE N=7244 No patients (0) were lost to follow-up of the primary endpoint! N=3621 assigned to thrombus aspiration N=3623 assigned to conventional PCI N=3399 underwent thrombus aspiration N=222 underwent conventional PCI N=3445 underwent conventional PCI N=178 underwent thrombus aspiration N=1162 underwent thrombus aspiration N=3535 underwent conventional PCI N=1162 were followed up N=3621 were followed up N=3623 were followed up N=3535 were followed up
All-cause mortality at 30 days HR 0.94 (0.72 - 1.22), P=0.63 Per protocol analysis based on actual treatment: HR 0.88 (0.66 - 1.17), P=0.38
Reinfarction at 30 days HR 0.61 (0.34 - 1.07), P=0.09 Per protocol analysis based on actual treatment: HR 0.67 (0.36 - 1.20), P=0.19
Conclusions • This large, prospective, registry-based randomized clinical trial showed: • no reduction of mortality at 30 days • no significant reduction of hospitalization for MI or of stent thrombosis at 30 days • no reduction of other important clinical endpoints during hospitalization • Our findings leave little role for manual thrombus aspiration as a routine adjunct to PCI in STEMI
