Measure
Standalone Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Participants will have standard of care treatment. They will undergo PCI with devices and techniques driven by clinical decision making at the patient level and institutional level, and carried out in accordance with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Thrombus Aspiration
Participants will have standard of care treatment with manual thrombectomy catheter and PCI. They will undergo PCI with devices and techniques driven by clinical decision making at the patient level and institutional level, and carried out in accordance with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care Thrombus Aspiration: Standard of care treatment with manual thrombectomy catheter
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Retriever Thrombectomy
Participants randomised to the stent-retriever thrombectomy arm of the RETRIEVE AMI trial will undergo stent-retriever thrombectomy with the SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device. Retriever Thrombectomy: The SolitaireTM X revascularisation device is a self-expanding stent designed for dynamic clot integration with radiopaque markers that enhance visualisation of the optimal working length. After a thrombotic occlusion has been identified and crossed with a guidewire, the stent-retriever thrombectomy proceeds. A microcatheter (e.g., PhenomTM, MarksmanTM) is advanced over the guidewire and once it has traversed the thrombotic occlusion, the SolitaireTM X device is advanced through the microcatheter until the usable length of the stent extends past each side of the thrombus in the vessel. As the microcatheter is retracted to the proximal radiopaque marker of the stent, the stent self-expands and entangles the thrombus. The microcatheter and SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device are withdrawn as a unit into the guide catheter under continuous aspiration. PCI then proceeds driven by clinical decision making and department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care

Population: The measurement was secondary and to the discretion of the treating physician.

The angiography derived index of microcirculatory resistance is a continuous variable that measures microcirculatory resistance. No formal minimum and maximum values exist. The higher the value, the worse the angiographic perfusion. A value over 40U confers an adverse prognosis.

A microcatheter (e.g., PhenomTM, MarksmanTM) is advanced over the guidewire and once it has traversed the thrombotic occlusion, the SolitaireTM X device is advanced through the microcatheter until the usable length of the stent extends past each side of the thrombus in the vessel. As the microcatheter is retracted to the proximal radiopaque marker of the stent, the stent self-expands and entangles the thrombus. The microcatheter and SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device are withdrawn as a unit into the guide catheter under continuous aspiration. PCI then proceeds driven by clinical decision making and department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care

Measure
Standalone Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
n=27 participants at risk
Participants will have standard of care treatment. They will undergo PCI with devices and techniques driven by clinical decision making at the patient level and institutional level, and carried out in accordance with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Thrombus Aspiration
n=27 participants at risk
Participants will have standard of care treatment with manual thrombectomy catheter and PCI. They will undergo PCI with devices and techniques driven by clinical decision making at the patient level and institutional level, and carried out in accordance with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care Thrombus Aspiration: Standard of care treatment with manual thrombectomy catheter
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Retriever Thrombectomy
n=27 participants at risk
Participants randomised to the stent-retriever thrombectomy arm of the RETRIEVE AMI trial will undergo stent-retriever thrombectomy with the SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device. Retriever Thrombectomy: The SolitaireTM X revascularisation device is a self-expanding stent designed for dynamic clot integration with radiopaque markers that enhance visualisation of the optimal working length. After a thrombotic occlusion has been identified and crossed with a guidewire, the stent-retriever thrombectomy proceeds. A microcatheter (e.g., PhenomTM, MarksmanTM) is advanced over the guidewire and once it has traversed the thrombotic occlusion, the SolitaireTM X device is advanced through the microcatheter until the usable length of the stent extends past each side of the thrombus in the vessel. As the microcatheter is retracted to the proximal radiopaque marker of the stent, the stent self-expands and entangles the thrombus. The microcatheter and SolitaireTM X Revascularisation Device are withdrawn as a unit into the guide catheter under continuous aspiration. PCI then proceeds driven by clinical decision making and department guidelines. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Standard of care
