Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We determined acute outcome in 148 consecutive patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing angioplasty including 72 patients (48.7%) considered ineligible for primary angioplasty trials. Overall, in-hospital mortality for acute infarct angioplasty was 12%, with fivefold higher mortality in the trial-ineligible group (21% vs. 4%, P = 0.003). Thus, primary angioplasty trials continue to exclude nearly 50% of acute infarction patients and reported mortality rates of primary angioplasty trials are likely to be significantly lower than the unselected in-hospital mortality rates.
