Intervention
Angioplasty strategies including primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and PCI after fibrinolytic therapy (rescue, immediate/facilitated, delayed routine, and delayed selective)
This review summarizes evidence-based recommendations for angioplasty strategies in STEMI, particularly focusing on the timing and indications for PCI after fibrinolytic therapy.
