Table 3

Subgroup meta-analysis of postoperative TIMI grade 3 flow and MACE according to TA catheter.

TA catheter	Number of studies	Postoperative TIMI grade 3 flow		MACE
		OR (95% CI)	P value	OR (95% CI)	P value
ZEEK	5	2.52 (1.01, 6.31)	P=0.05	0.22 (0.14, 0.35)	P0.00001
Driver C.E.	3	4.97 (2.03, 12.15)	P=0.0004	0.22(0.02, 2.14)	P=0.19
EXPORT	2	8.75 (2.92, 26.26)	P=0.0001	0.38 (0.14, 1.0)	P=0.05

TA: thrombus aspiration; OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction trial; MACE: major adverse cardiac events.
