3 STEMI Care 2014 at the Crossroads 1. Discuss the impact of the primary PCI for all STEMI strategy and its potential global impact. 2. Reaffirm that optimal regional STEMI care requires a dual reperfusion strategy (primary PCI and fibrinolysis). 3. Use clinical trial evidence and real world evidence to elucidate the fibrinolysis pharmacoinvasive strategy.

4 Historical References/Reflections Primary angioplasty versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction: a quantitative review of 23 randomised trials. Keeley et al; Lancet, 2003 Jan 4;361(9351): A comparison of coronary angioplasty with fibrinolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction. Andersen et al; NEngl J Med Aug 21;349(8):

5 Historical References/Reflections Contemporary guidelines recommend primary PCI as the preferred reperfusion strategy Many urban regions and their surrounding referral centres have implemented primary PCI as the sole reperfusion strategy Regions and in fact certain Countries have entirely abandoned fibrinolysis despite the reality that many STEMI patients present to non-pci hospitals The question that remains unclear has the near abandonment of pharmacological reperfusion improved STEMI patients outcomes?

25 Summary 1. In 2014, optimal STEMI care requires regional access to primary PCI and fibrinolysis with an individual patient risk - based reperfusion strategy 2. Following fibrinolysis the pharmacoinvasive strategy improves outcomes and should be employed within a dedicated STEMI system of care

26 Summary Pharmacoinvasive 3. Clinical vigilance for reperfusion success and urgent catheterization in the setting of reperfusion failure (rescue) or with early recurrent ischemia is warranted 4. Following successful fibrinolysis - scheduled early angiography (6-24 hours) should be encouraged Provides an optimal medical and interventional interplay with excellent patient outcomes and rational cost effective approach to revascularization
