Methodology for assessing post-thrombolysis angioplasty need described; leaves open its impact on angiographic parameters in acute MI.
Structured PICO
Does transluminal coronary angioplasty improve quantitative angiographic parameters after successful thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction?
P
Population
105 patients catheterised in the acute phase of myocardial infarction
I
Intervention
Transluminal coronary angioplasty immediately after successful recanalisation or finding of patent infarct-related vessel
C
Comparator
No immediate transluminal coronary angioplasty
O
Outcome
Quantitative angiographic measurements (reference diameter, minimal obstruction diameter, length of the lesions, and percentage diameter stenosis)surrogate
This study describes the methodology for evaluating quantitative angiographic parameters to determine if transluminal coronary angioplasty is mandatory after successful thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction, though results are not reported in the abstract.
