Abstract

The mortality benefit associated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction may be lost if door-to-balloon time is delayed by >1 hour as compared with fibrinolytic therapy door-to-needle time. Interventional cardiology laboratories endeavoring to achieve the benefits of primary percutaneous coronary intervention seen in randomized clinical trials should aim to match their short door-to-balloon times.
