NCT ID NCT07551700

First seen May 01, 2026 ยท Last updated May 01, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding a clot-removal step to the standard heart attack procedure helps prevent future heart problems and protects heart function. About 6,760 adults with a severe type of heart attack and large clots will be randomly assigned to get either the standard procedure alone or with clot removal. They will be followed for one year to compare rates of heart-related death, repeat heart attacks, and other serious events.
