However, this prognostic value was not found in patients treated with primary angioplasty.

Methods: We studied 102 patients who underwent primary angioplasty for a first anterior Q-wave AMI.

In our region there was no significant prognostic difference between pre-hospital thrombolysis and primary angioplasty.

We also suggest that primary angioplasty may be more effective than thrombolysis for hard plaque lesions.

Two other randomized studies have shown little benefit from primary angioplasty on myocardial salvage, recurrent ischemia, or ventricular function.

This article reviews the results of primary angioplasty reported in patients with myocardial infarction and makes recommendations for its use.

One major limitation of primary angioplasty is that it requires 24-hour availability of a catheterization laboratory and experienced surgical personnel.

We sought to determine whether sex influenced short-term outcomes in a cohort of AMI patients, all of whom underwent primary angioplasty.

It is not known, however, whether a similar relation holds for physicians and hospitals that perform primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction.

Thrombolytic therapy is relatively ineffective, while primary angioplasty is a more recent approach yet to be established as optimal treatment for patients with ARVI.

Conclusions: After correcting for age and baseline risk differences, women undergoing primary angioplasty for AMI have a significantly higher in-hospital mortality rate than men.

Methods and results: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all patients undergoing primary angioplasty for a first AMI in New York State in 1995.

Aims: We sought to evaluate the determinants and the potential benefit of abciximab use in unselected patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty.

One hundred opiate-treated patients presenting with STEMI and accepted for primary angioplasty were randomized (1:1) to either enoxaparin or SOC.
