Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Thrombolysis has reduced mortality from myocardial infarction, but effective opening of the artery with normal flow continues to be an important goal. Thrombolysis is not always as successful as it should be; alternatives include adjunctive therapy and mechanical opening of the arteries. In patients with acute coronary occlusion opening the artery should continue to be the primary aim. |
