“…The main focus of later trials was to compare MT against PCI‐only with a lesser emphasis on its effectiveness and its interaction to the AAR. In a series from our institution, it was considered inefficient (inability to reach the lesion or to have a TIMI ≥ 2 after MT utilization prior to any other device) in 12.5% of cases and it was correlated to a significant higher rate of final no‐reflow phenomenon . In that series, both TIT and the Syntax score were found to be the major determinants of thrombectomy ineffectiveness, probably because thrombus may become more organized as time goes by, and therefore less likely to be removed and more likely to embolize to the microcirculation.…”

“…While the early increase is understandable, the extremely late increase (90-180 days) lacks a reasonable explanation and might be the result of chance. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] In general, it is asserted that manual operations have a lower mortality rate than mechanical procedures, and that the therapy of patients with severe thrombus burdens should include both mechanical techniques and measures of myocardial perfusion. [19] There was no significant difference in one-month mortality between conventional PCI and PCI with thrombectomy, according to a recent meta-analysis by Tamhane et al, but manual devices enhanced myocardial perfusion parameters.…”

“…There is a theory that thrombus aspiration is advantageous for patients who appear early since observational analyses have revealed that it is less helpful for individuals with prolonged ischemia durations. [10] Others claim that patients with prolonged ischemia periods have structured thrombi, necessitating and benefiting more from thrombus aspiration. This topic was ready to be answered by the TOTAL (Thrombectomy with PCI versus PCI Alone in Patients with STEMI) experiment, which randomly assigned 10 732 STEMI patients to receive either upfront thrombus aspiration with PCI or PCI alone.…”

“…Observational analyses have found manual thrombus aspiration to be less effective for patients with longer ischemic times, so there is a hypothesis that thrombus aspiration is beneficial for patients who present early. 5 Others have argued that patients with longer ischemic times have an organized thrombus and thus have greater need for and benefit from thrombus aspiration. The TOTAL (Thrombectomy With PCI vs PCI Alone in Patients With STEMI) trial randomized 10 732 patients with STEMI to undergo either upfront thrombus aspiration with PCI or PCI alone and so was poised to answer this question.…”

“…Ischemic time may be associated with the amount of myocardial recovery after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Observational analyses have found manual thrombus aspiration to be less effective for patients with longer ischemic times, so there is a hypothesis that thrombus aspiration is beneficial for patients who present early . Others have argued that patients with longer ischemic times have an organized thrombus and thus have greater need for and benefit from thrombus aspiration.…”
