BACKGROUND: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the standard reperfusion treatment in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Intracoronary thrombolysis (ICT) may reduce thrombotic burden in the infarct-related artery, which is often responsible for microvascular obstruction and no-reflow.

METHODS: We conducted, according to the PRISMA statement, the largest meta-analysis to date of ICT as adjuvant therapy to PPCI. All relevant studies were identified by searching the PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

RESULTS: Thirteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving a total of 1876 patients were included. Compared to the control group, STEMI ICT-treated patients had fewer major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (OR 0.65, 95% CI, 0.48-0.86, P = 0.003) and an improved 6-month left ventricular ejection fraction (MD 3.78, 95% CI, 1.53-6.02, P = 0.0010). Indices of enhanced myocardial microcirculation were better with ICT (Post-PCI corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (MD - 3.57; 95% CI, - 5.00 to - 2.14, P < 0.00001); myocardial blush grade (MBG) 2/3 (OR 1.76; 95% CI, 1.16-2.69, P = 0.008), and complete ST-segment resolution (OR 1.97; 95% CI, 1.33-2.91, P = 0.0007)). The odds for major bleeding were comparable between the 2 groups (OR 1.27; 95% CI, 0.61-2.63, P = 0.53).

CONCLUSIONS: The present meta-analysis suggests that ICT was associated with improved MACE and myocardial microcirculation in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, without significant increase in major bleeding. However, these findings necessitate confirmation in a contemporary large RCT.
