Incidence and Risk Factors of Left Ventricular Thrombus in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated by Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Left ventricular thrombosis (LVT) is a common complication of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study attempted to synthesize the available evidence to understand the incidence and risk factors of LVT in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2001 to January 2022. The random-effects and fixed-effects model meta-analysis estimated pooled incidence, mean difference (MD), odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence interval (CI). The Review Manager 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis performance.

Results

The results of meta-analysis showed that the incidence of LVT in acute STEMI treated
