Long-term clinical outcomes after rescue angioplasty are not different from those of successful thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction.
AIMS The long-term value of rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who received thrombolytic therapy but failed to achieve early recanalization of the artery is still debated. This study aimed to compare long-term outcomes after successful thrombolysis vs. systematic attempted rescue PTCA. METHODS AND RESULTS A ...
متن کاملRescue Angioplasty After Failed Thrombolysis: Technical and Clinical Outcomes in a Large Thrombolysis Trial
Objectives. We sought to assess the angiographic outcome, complication rates and clinical features of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) after failed thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction. Background. “Rescue angioplasty” refers to mechanical reopening of an occluded infarct-related artery (IRA) after failed intravenous thrombolysis. Although the procedure is commonly ...
متن کاملThrombolytic therapy vs primary percutaneous coronary intervention for myocardial infarction in patients presenting to hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Trials comparing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and thrombolytic therapy for treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI) suggest primary PCI is the superior therapy, although they differ with respect to the durability of benefit. Because PCI is often limited to hospitals that have on-site cardiac surgery programs, most acute MI patients do not have access to this the...
متن کاملPlatelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor blockers for failed thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction, alone or as adjunct to other rescue therapies.
Early and complete restoration of myocardial blood flow is the therapeutic goal for treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). After fibrinolytic therapy patients who fail to achieve Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 epicardial blood flow are at high risk of death and congestive heart failure. With currently available thrombolytic therapies less than two-thi...

I N 1979, DUCKERT reviewed the completed trials of intravenous (IV) thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction (MI) for this journal.’ Duckert stated in his review, “It is fair to conclude that today the value of thrombolytic treatment of acute MI has not been established.” Since this review, dramatic advances have been made in the understanding of pathogenesis of MI, knowledge of thro...
