New device to remove blood clots during a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special catheter designed to suction out blood clots from the heart's arteries during a heart attack. It may help restore blood flow and limit heart damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) that started less than 24 hours ago.
- The main artery in your heart has a large clot and very little blood flow.
- You have not had a previous procedure (like a stent or bypass) in the same artery.
- You are not in cardiogenic shock (very low blood pressure from heart failure).
- You do not have severe kidney failure, bleeding problems, or other serious conditions listed.

This trial studies whether removing (“aspirating”) a blood clot during an emergency heart procedure works better for people having a specific type of heart attack with a large clot burden. It may help improve blood flow after treatment, but it is only for patients who meet several timing and safety conditions.
This trial tests whether removing blood clots from blocked heart arteries during emergency treatment improves outcomes for patients having a major heart attack. You may qualify if you're having a heart attack with a large clot and are getting emergency intervention to open the artery.
This trial tests whether using a special device to remove blood clots during emergency heart artery opening can improve outcomes for people having a major heart attack on the front of the heart. It is for patients who get to the hospital quickly after symptoms start.
This study tests whether removing a clot with a special suction device during a heart catheterization helps people who already received a clot-busting medicine for a severe heart attack. It may improve blood flow and reduce damage to the heart muscle.
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 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.
