Key result
Emergency coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction in a community hospital achieved a 92% success rate for reperfusion and dilatation, with low late mortality over a mean 13.4 months.

Does emergency coronary angioplasty improve outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction in a community hospital setting?
Emergency coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction can be performed safely and effectively in a community hospital setting, achieving high reperfusion rates and improved ejection fraction.
P. F. Miller (1987) conducted an observational in acute myocardial infarction (n=127). Emergency coronary angioplasty was evaluated on Reperfusion and successful dilatation. Emergency coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction in a community hospital achieved a 92% success rate for reperfusion and dilatation, with low late mortality over a mean 13.4 months.
