Predictors of infarct-related artery patency following combined lytic therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with immediate percutaneous coronary intervention.
Journal Title: Kardiologia Polska - Year 2011, Vol 69, Issue 5
Abstract
Patency of infarct-related artery (IRA) before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with better outcomes. Little is known of the clinical or angiographic predictors of IRA recanalisation after administration of combined fibrinolytic therapy before PCI.
