Observational StudyPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction: Outcomes and determinants of outcomes: A tertiary care center study from North India.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the current standard of care for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Most of the data on primary PCI in acute STEMI is from western countries. We studied the outcomes of primary PCI for acute STEMI at a tertiary care center in North India. ⋯ Primary PCI for acute STEMI is feasible in our setup and associated with high success rate, low mortality in non-shock patients and low complication rates.
