Reperfusion in Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Cardiogenic Shock and Prolonged Interhospital Transport Times

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:In patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the preferred revascularization option. pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% The incidence of the primary safety outcome was 10.1% 1.09];P=0.08).CONCLUSIONS:In
