TOTAL Stroke in the TOTAL trial: Randomized trial of manual aspiration Thrombectomy in STEMI TOTAL Trial Investigators
TOTAL Disclosures TOTAL trial was funded by: Canadian Institutes of Health Research Canadian Network and Centre for Trials Internationally (CANNeCTIN) Medtronic Inc.
TOTAL The TOTAL Trial Study Design PCI Alone (only bailout thrombectomy) Routine Upfront Manual Thrombectomy followed by PCI Primary Outcome: CV death, MI, cardiogenic shock and class IV heart failure ≤180 days Safety Outcome: Stroke ≤30 days 1:1 Randomization between strategies Bailout Thrombectomy allowed if PCI alone strategy fails: Persistent TIMI 0 or 1 flow with large thrombus after balloon pre-dilatation Persistent large thrombus after stent deployment at target lesion STEMI with Primary PCI ≤12 hours of symptom onset Sample size of 10,700 for 80% power to detect a 20% Relative Risk Reduction Jolly SS, et al.

TOTAL Key Findings of TOTAL Jolly SS, et al. N Engl J Med : No Difference in Primary Efficacy Outcome Increase in Stroke Hazard ratio 0.99 (95% CI ), P=0.86 Hazard ratio 2.00 (95% CI ), P=0.003
TOTAL Objectives of Detailed Stroke Analysis To better understand Stroke findings in TOTAL trial To explore: Timing of Stroke Stroke severity Subtypes of Stroke Independent Predictors of Stroke To incorporate findings into updated Meta-analysis
TOTAL Objectives of Detailed Stroke Analysis To understand stroke findings, specifically: Timing of Stroke Stroke severity Subtypes of Stroke Independent Predictors of Stroke To incorporate findings into updated Meta-analysis All strokes were adjudicated by Neurologists blinded to treatment

TOTAL Conclusions Routine thrombectomy was associated with increased risk of stroke that was evident within 48 hours Increase in primarily ischemic strokes but also hemorrhagic strokes Future trials of thrombectomy devices need to carefully collect stroke outcomes (safety) to determine safety and in addition to efficacy
