Prehospital Ticagrelor in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction with Long Transport Time to Primary PCI Facility
Pre-hospital ticagrelor, given less than 1h before coronary intervention (PCI), failed to improve coronary reperfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary PCI. It is unknown whether a longer interval from ticagrelor administration to primary PCI might reveal any improvement of coronary reperfusion.
