Thrombus aspiration with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) did not improve mortality compared with PCI alone in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in a large, randomized trial. This article presents data from the Thrombus Aspiration in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Scandinavia trial [TASTE; Fröbert O et al. N Engl J Med 2013].
