1980;303:897-902 Prevalence of total coronary occlusion during the early hours of transmural myocardial infarction MA DeWood, J Spores, R Notske, LT Mouser, R Burroughs, MS Golden, and HT Lang To define the prevalence of total coronary occlusion in the hours after transmural myocardial infarction, we used coronary arteriography to study the degree of coronary obstruction in 322 patients admitted within 24 hours of infarction. Total coronary occlusion is frequent during the early hours of transmural infarction and decreases in frequency during the initial 24 hours, suggesting that coronary spasm or thrombus formation with subsequent recanalization or both may be important in the evolution of infarction.

2007;99:1384 1388 Mortality with PCI with different delays to therapy compared with immediate thrombolytic therapy. A patient s baseline mortality risk, assuming treatment with thrombolytic therapy at 30 minutes (x axis), is presented. A 70-year-old patient s expected mortality with PCI at different ECG-to-needle times for a given baseline risk (multiple solid lines) is displayed, with prediction intervals (gray areas). Patients at low risk (baseline mortality risk 5%) have similar mortality outcomes regardless of delay. When delay to therapy is short (e.g., ECG-to-needle time 90 minutes), the degree of benefit increases with increasing baseline risk. However, when delay to therapy is longer (e.g., ECG-to-needle time 150 minutes), increasing baseline risk is associated with a higher probability of harm. At an ECG-to-needle time of 130 minutes (representing a PCI-related delay of 100 minutes compared with thrombolysis), mortality outcomes are expected to be roughly similar with either form of reperfusion across the spectrum of baseline risk.
Monday, November 13, 2006, 12:01 a.m. CT The American College of Cardiology and Partners Launch National Alliance To Reduce Door-to-Balloon (D2B) Times D2B alliance aims to save time and lives CHICAGO - The American College of Cardiology (ACC), together with the American Heart Association (AHA) and other key national healthcare organizations, announces the launch of its latest quality campaign, Door to Balloon (D2B): An Alliance for Quality. A Guidelines Applied in Practice (GAP) Program, the D2B campaign is aimed at improving the timeliness of lifesaving therapy for patients with heart attacks at the nation s hospitals that perform emergency angioplasty. Previously published guidelines developed by the ACC and the AHA recommend that hospitals treating STEMI patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should reliably achieve a door-to-balloon time of 90 minutes or less. However, accomplishing this level of performance is an organizational challenge and many patients are not treated within the guideline recommendation

2007;99:1360 1363 We developed a protocol empowering paramedics to identify and directly triage patients with STEMI to a prealerted PCI hospital. This study assessed time to PCI and in-hospital mortality using this protocol compared with other patterns of arrival. Paramedics were educated in EKG criteria for STEMI. Medtronic LIFEPAK 12 defibrillators were used to obtain an initial EKG on all field patients with suspected MI. Paramedic identified patients with STEMI were transported directly to a PCI hospital ED, often bypassing closer, referring hospitals. The PCI ED triage personnel, upon receipt of the paramedic alert, activated t the cath lab team.

Definitions Definition: A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered non-primary when it is used for reasons that are not emergent in nature. Non-primary PCIs include elective, rescue, and salvage PCIs. In contrast, a primary PCI is the use of a percutaneous reperfusion procedure in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation MI (usually within 12 hours or less from the onset of ischemic symptoms) with the goal of restoring blood flow to the affected myocardium, thereby improving outcomes including reduced mortality rates.
Reasons for Delay System reasons for delay are not acceptable, regardless of any linkage to the timing of PCI/reperfusion. ο Equipment-related (e.g., unavailability, malfunction) ο Staff-related (e.g., waiting for cath lab staff) ο Participation in clinical trial (e.g., waiting for trials coordinator) ο Consultation with other clinician ο Cath lab unavailability (e.g., no open cath lab) The linkage between a non-system reason and the timing/delay of PCI/reperfusion/cath/transfer to cath lab must be made clear somewhere in the medical record. Abstractors should NOT make inferences from documentation of a sequence of events alone or otherwise attempt to interpret from documentation. Clinical judgment should not be used in abstraction.
Reasons for Delay Examples of ACCEPTABLE documentation: H Hold on PCI. Will do TEE to r/o aortic dissection. Patient waiting for family and clergy to arrive wishes to consult with them before PCI. Pt. presented to ER in full cardiac arrest. ACLS protocol instituted. Unable to do PCI until patient stable. He had to be defibrillated several times prior to transfer to cath lab. SVG Angiojet cath did not cross lesion. XMI catheter successfully crossed the stenosis. Flow reestablished after 30 min. delay. PCI delayed due to intermittent hypotensive episodes when crossing lesion. o Note: Initial patient/family refusal of PCI/reperfusion/cath/transfer to cath lab is an acceptable reason for delay and does NOT need to be linked to the timing/delay in PCI.
Reasons for Delay Examples of UNACCEPTABLE documentation: Patient is discussing PCI with family. (Effect on timing/delay of PCI not documented) Patient developed v fib and cardiorespiratory arrest. Defib x 2, intubated. To cath lab for PCI. (Linkage to timing/delay of PCI not clear Abstractor should not infer from sequence of events) ST-elevation on initial ECG resolved. Chest pain now recurring. To cath lab for PCI. (Linkage to timing/delay of PCI not clear requires clinical judgment) Cath contraindicated too high risk. (Effect on timing/delay of PCI not documented) d) PCI not indicated. (Effect on timing/delay of PCI not documented) During the Angiojet thrombectomy, the patient had bradycardia which required pacing. (Effect on timing/delay i of PCI not documented) d) If unable to determine whether a documented reason is system in nature, or if physician/apn/pa documentation does not establish a linkage between event(s)/condition(s) and the timing/delay in PCI/reperfusion/cath/transfer to cath lab, select No.
