Therapie des akuten Myokardinfarkts — Primäre PTCA oder Thrombolyse?

Abstract: Since reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery has been established as a mainstay in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mechanical recanalization by direct angioplasty has been used as an alternative to the standard treatment with thrombolysis. Direct PTCA is more efficient than thrombolysis in terms of reperfusion rates, whereas thrombolysis is more readily available. Thrombolysis reduces mortality from AMI by approximately 25%. The clinical efficacy is strongly time-dependent, and t… Show more

“…The clinical efficacy is strongly time-dependent, and treatment within the first hour of AMI improves survival rate by nearly 50% by preventing transmural infarction in a significant proportion of the patients. The disadvantage of thrombolysis is its limited efficacy in terms of rapid, complete and sustained patency of the infarct vessel which yield the optimal results to only 50% of the patients [10].…”

“…In the last few decades, the mortality rate for acute myocardial infarction has been significantly lowered through the further development of drug, interventional, and surgical therapies. Despite these therapeutic options, a low percentage of infarction patients (~7%) develop cardiogenic shock [Vogt 1999]. This patient group has an extremely poor prognosis and a hospital mortality rate of 60% to almost 100%.…”
