Authors' objectives:
This is a comparative effectiveness review examining the benefits to harms of adjunctive devices to remove thrombi or protect against embolization in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of native vessels.
Authors' recommendations:
For most devices, there are few RCTs evaluating final health outcomes over a long period of followup, and furthermore the data outside of STEMI are scarce. Due to insufficient data, the safety of these devices is unclear.
