title: Diagnosis and management of failed thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: Thrombolytic therapy continues to remain the most frequently adopted treatment for patients of acute myocardial infarction. Despite our best efforts, thrombolytic therapy is not uniformly successful. In this review we have discussed the incidence, diagnosis and management of failed thrombolysis. The different meta-analysis of rescue angioplasty and various nuances of this treatment are presented.
