Finds why heart clot treatment may not work
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people with a specific type of heart attack who received clot-busting treatment before reaching the hospital. It aims to figure out what predicts why the treatment might fail, which could help improve care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You had a heart attack called STEMI
- You received thrombolysis (clot-busting medicine) before arriving at the hospital

This study tests different ways of restoring blood flow for people having a heart attack (STEMI) when the usual emergency procedure (primary PCI) may be delayed. It aims to see if giving a clot-busting medicine beforehand is as good as waiting for the procedure, or if another approach works better.
This trial tests if a special device that sucks out blood clots during a heart attack is better than standard care for reducing clot size before placing a stent. It may help patients who have a large clot and a blocked artery.
This trial tests whether an AI-powered app can help doctors give clot-busting medicine earlier to people having a severe heart attack (STEMI) when immediate angioplasty isn't possible. If you can't get a procedure within 2 hours, this treatment might be an option.
This trial tests a new approach to treating blood clots during a heart attack to prevent damage to the small blood vessels in your heart. You would receive this treatment during an emergency catheterization procedure if you have signs of a major heart attack.
This trial tests whether a low-dose clot-busting medicine placed into the heart artery after a primary stent can improve outcomes in people with a certain type of heart attack. It also involves short hospital follow-ups and a heart MRI to look at how the heart is recovering.
This trial tests whether removing the blood clot from the heart artery during a stent procedure can improve outcomes for people having a heart attack. If you fit the criteria, you may be randomly assigned to receive this extra clot-removal step or the standard stent procedure alone.
