- Abstract
Aims: The mortality benefit of primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PPCI) is time-dependent. We explored the relationship between risk and PPCI delay, adjusted for the delay at presentation, which leads to equivalent 30-day mortality between PPCI and fibrin-specific thrombolytic therapy (TT).
