May signal hemorrhagic risk with rescue PTCA/PCPS in AMI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction affect the incidence of hemorrhagic infarction and tissue healing?
Autopsy findings reveal a high incidence of hemorrhagic infarction and delayed healing in AMI patients treated with coronary interventions, especially following rescue PTCA or PCPS.
Sakamoto et al. (2002) studied this question.
