Article Synopsis
- Primary PCI has significantly improved patient outcomes for those with STEMI over the last 15 years and is now the standard treatment in the UK.
- Treatment is effective when initiated within 12 hours of symptom onset, aiming to open the blocked artery within 150 minutes of emergency contact.
- Procedures typically use the radial artery for access and involve placing a drug-eluting stent, with ongoing antiplatelet therapy for 12 months, and there is increasing support for treating other narrowed blood vessels as well.
