The role of intravenous coronary thrombolysis for patients with acute myocardial infarction in different treatment strategies.

Objective: To examine acute-phase outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) according to different initial treatments.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study involved 405 patients with AMI who had undergone coronary angiography during the acute phase. The patients were retrospectively examined by dividing into groups according to treatment received: intravenous coronary thrombolysis (IVCT) (n=83), intracoronary thrombolysis (ICT) (n=62), and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=221).
