Zusammenfassung:BACKGROUND: Despite the use of aspirin, reocclusion of the infarct-related artery occurs in approximately 30% of patients within the first year after successful fibrinolysis, with impaired clinical outcome. This study sought to assess the impact of a prolonged anticoagulation regimen as adjunctive to aspirin in the prevention of reocclusion and recurrent ischemic events after fibrinolysis for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS: At coronary angiography
