Abstract
The main goal of the initial treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is prompt reperfusion of the infarct-related artery. Effective reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery led to a reduction of myocardial necrosis and significantly improved the prognosis in STEMI patients.(1) Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is currently the preferred treatment for acute STIMI. Previous observational studies have shown a strong association between prompt performance of primary PCI, as assessed in terms of the door-to-balloon time (the interval from the patient’s arrival at the hospital to inflation of the balloon to restore flow), and reduced mortality.(2,3)
