TL;DR: Routine thrombus aspiration before PCI as compared with PCI alone did not reduce 30-day mortality among patients with STEMI, and results were consistent across all major prespecified subgroups, including subgroups defined according toThrombus burden and coronary flow before PCI.

TL;DR: The aims of the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART) are to support the improvement of care and evidence-based development of therapy of coronary artery disease (CAD).

TL;DR: Percutaneous coronary intervention with 'new-generation' drug-eluting stents (n-DES) to 'older generation' DES (o-DES), and bare-metal stent implantations in a real-world population is associated with a 38% lower risk of clinically meaningful restenosis, a 43% lowerrisk of definite ST, and a 23% lower chance of death compared with o-DES in this observational study from a large real- world population.

TL;DR: Routine thrombus aspiration before PCI in patients with STEMI did not reduce the rate of death from any cause or the composite of deathFrom any cause, rehospitalization for myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis at 1 year.

TL;DR: The term randomized clinical registry trial is proposed to describe the novel entity of using an online national registry as platform for case records, randomization, and follow-up in patients with STEMI.
