Thrombolysis in the Age of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention : Mini-Review and Meta-Analysis of Early PCI

Abstract: Abstract:Objective: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice for ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) if performed within 90 minutes from first medical contact. However, primary PCI is only available for less than 25% of patients with STEMI. Early PCI or Pharmaco-invasive strategy has evolved from facilitated PCI but with more delayed timing from thrombolysis to PCI. Aim:Assess the safety and effectiveness of Early PCI. Patients and Method:We reviewed the data o… Show more

“…The timely opening of the culprit vessels and restoration of the blood perfusion of ischemic myocardium is the main treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It helps in maintaining heart function and improves clinical prognosis ( 1 ). However, reperfusion injury caused by percutaneous trans-luminal coronary angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in poor blood flow as well as stent restenosis ( 2 – 4 ).…”

“…Thus, if patients cannot undergo PCI in a timely manner (within 2 h of acute MI), thrombolysis may be performed instead (O'gara et al, 2013 ). Following successful revascularization via thrombolysis, transfer to a PCI-capable facility and subsequent catheterization within 24 h of acute MI may further improve revascularization and patient outcome (Al Shammeri and Garcia, 2013 ; O'gara et al, 2013 ). Several clinical trials have also focused on comparing PCI to CABG.…”

“…Notably, angioplasty is the most common percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) method for CVD treatment [37,38] , and diagnostic angiography and PCI routinely utilize iodinated CM for vascular visualization [39,40] . Although angiograms and PCI can effectively diagnose and treat CVD patients, this can potentially lead to acute kidney diseases such as CIN induced by CM [41][42][43][44][45][46] . CM can be retained by the kidney where they have the potential to cause toxicity, resulting in acute renal injury [47] .…”
