Prospective randomised comparison between thrombolysis, rescue PTCA, and primary PTCA in patients with extensive myocardial infarction admitted to a hospital without PTCA facilities: a safety and feasibility study

Abstract: Objective-To assess the safety and feasibility of acute transport followed by rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or primary PTCA in patients with acute myocardial infarction initially admitted to a hospital without PTCA facilities. Design-In a multicentre randomised open trial, three regimens of treatment of acute large myocardial infarction were compared for patients admitted to hospitals without angioplasty facilities: thrombolytic treatment with alteplase (75 patients), alteplase f… Show more

“…11 Importantly, average time from randomization at the initial hospital to first balloon inflation at the PCI hospital was relatively short-approximately 90 minutes-in the 4 trials that were performed in European countries with highly organized national emer-gency medical systems. 6,7,9,10 In the only trial to include PCI hospitals in the United States, time from randomization to first balloon inflation was 120 minutes. 8 Rapid and complete restoration of coronary artery blood flow and myocardial perfusion is the mechanism by which reperfusion therapy reduces morbidity and mortality in STEMI.…”

“…Recomenda-se sua realização em tempo inferior a 180min após o fibrinolítico, visto que os benefícios para os pacientes são menores após esse intervalo. É importante ressaltar que a segurança para a transferência para um hospital terciário habilitado na realização da intervenção coronariana percutânea de urgência foi verificada por alguns estudos 456,458,462 .…”
