Transferring patients for primary infarct angioplasty.
Although primary angioplasty (PTCA) achieves reper-fusion in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) more readily than thrombolysis without the risk of intracranial haemorrhage , economic and logistic issues limit its applicability. 1 Most patients with AMI present to hospitals without cardiac catheterisation facilities, let alone PTCA expertise. The safety and feasibility of the emergency transfer o...
متن کاملTransferring patients for primary angioplasty in eastern Melbourne (the SHIPEM registry): are we meeting the guidelines?
OBJECTIVES To compare clinical outcomes between patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting to a hospital with facilities for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and patients transferred from a non-PCI-capable unit, and to determine the success rate of meeting clinical guidelines for management of STEMI. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective study o...
متن کاملEffect of diabetes on scintigraphic infarct size in STEMI patients undergoing primary angioplasty.
BACKGROUND It has been shown that among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), diabetes is associated with a significantly higher mortality, mainly because of impaired reperfusion. However, few data have been reported so far on infarct size as evaluated by well-refined techniques, such as nuclear imaging techniques. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to inves...
متن کاملPrimary angioplasty versus thrombolysis for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: an economic analysis of the National Infarct Angioplasty project.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the cost-effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. Design Cost analysis of UK observational database, incorporated into decision analytical model. METHODS Patients receiving treatment within a comprehensive angioplasty service were compared with control patients receiving thrombolysis-based care. The tre...
متن کاملInfarct artery reocclusion after primary angioplasty, stent placement, and thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND The benefits of thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are limited by reocclusion of the infarct-related artery, which occurs in 25% to 30% of patients after successful reperfusion. The frequency of reocclusion after balloon angioplasty and stenting in this setting is less well documented. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency and timing of reocclusio...
