High early mortality with real-world primary PTCA in AMI warrants caution, especially in Killip III/IV; leaves open optimization strategies.
Primary PTCA for acute myocardial infarction in a real-world setting showed a 78% success rate and 18.5% early mortality, with higher mortality strongly associated with Killip class III/IV.
Leite et al. (2001) studied this question.
