Facilitated PCI in younger Chinese patients with AMI.
Presently, facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients remains controversial. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of facilitated PCI, intravenous low-dose rt-PA administration prior to urgent PCI, in Chinese patients < 70 years of age with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Our results suggest that the age and dosage of thrombolytics should be noticed seriously when considering facilitated PCI.
