STREAM and FAST-MI – Pharmacoinvasive therapy: A continued role for fibrinolysis in the primary PCI era
نویسنده
چکیده
Data from the Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction (STREAM) trial(6) and 5-year results from the French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI)(7) are evaluated for further evidence on the effectiveness and safety of a pharmacoinvasive approach for patients presenting with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

متن کاملThe role of fibrinolysis in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Most cases of acute myocardial infarction are caused by disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque followed by coronary thrombosis (1). In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the thrombus occludes a major epicardial coronary artery. Such an occlusion is an emergency situation, and flow in the occluded vessel should be restored as fast as possible. Various strategies for reperfusion are ava...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been demonstrated to be superior to fibrinolytic therapy in reducing mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when it can be performed rapidly. However, many STEMI patients present to hospitals without PCI capability and often cannot undergo PCI within the guideline-recommended timelines; instead, they receive fibrinoly...

There are an estimated 500,000 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) events in the U.S. annually. Despite improvements in care, up to one-third of patients presenting with STEMI within 12 h of symptom onset still receive no reperfusion therapy acutely. Clinical studies indicate that speed of reperfusion after infarct onset may be more important than whether pharmacologic or mechani...
