Late Reperfusion With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Who is this study for? Adult patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
What treatments are being studied? Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Although recommended therapy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is primary PCI, it remains unestablished whether patients with a symptom duration of more 12 hours benefit from acute revascularisation. This study aims to investigate whether acute intervention is superior to subacute intervention in these patients.
