Abstract :
Our study evaluated the interaction across mortality risk, time delay related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and survival benefit of PCI over thrombolytic therapy (risk-time benefit analysis). Mortality risk and angioplasty-related time delay were independently correlated to 30-day survival benefit of primary angioplasty over lytic therapy. A PCI-related delay >60 minutes could be justified for high-risk patients.
