Abstract

Current guidelines prefer primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) over fibrinolysis in the treatment of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Pre-hospital fibrinolysis followed by early invasive evaluation is an alternative that we have used in patients presenting within three hours of symptom onset. We made a survey of patients suffering an acute STEMI over one year to assess mortality and adverse events following either pPCI or fibrinolysis.
