At 30 days, there was no difference in the primary composite endpoint (all-cause death, shock, congestive heart failure, or reinfarction) between patients in the fibrinolysis (12.4%) and primary PCI (14.3%) groups (RR 0.86; 95% CI 0.68-1.09; P = 0.21). Cardiogenic shock and congestive heart failure were slightly more…
PRAGUE-2 enrolled 850 patients with acute STEMI from September 1999 to February 2002. Patients were randomized to immediate transport for primary PCI (n = 429) or fibrinolysis in a community hospital (n = 421). Primary PCI reduced 30-day mortality, the primary endpoint, among patients presenting more than…
