OP-001 Comparison of Primary Angioplasty Results with and without Cardiac Surgery Backup in a Single Center




Objectives


To investigate the safety and efficacy of primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PPTCA) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at a off- site cardiac surgery hospital.




Background


Though randomized studies indicate that PPTCA in AMI result in superior outcomes compared with fibrinolytic therapy, the performance of PPTCA at hospitals without cardiac surgery is debated.
