Usefulness of angioplasty during acute myocardial infarction in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting

The efficacy and risk of reperfusion strategies for myocardial infarction in patients with prior coronary artery bypass surgery are uncertain. In this study 72 patients with prior bypass grafting underwent direct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty without antecedent thrombolytic therapy....

Zusammenfassung:The efficacy and risk of reperfusion strategies for myocardial infarction in patients with prior coronary artery bypass surgery are uncertain. In this study 72 patients with prior bypass grafting underwent direct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty without antecedent thrombolytic therapy. There were 26 anterior and 46 inferior infarctions, including 11 patients (15%) in cardiogenic shock. The baseline ejection fraction was
