Abstract
Among 377 patients consecutively treated with primary coronary angiopl asty for acute myocardial infarction, in-hospital mortality was higher in patients ineligible than in patients eligible for thrombolysis (14 .4% vs 7.8%, p <0.05). It remained dismal (75.9%) in patients with car diogenic shock, but was similar in lyric-eligible patients and in thos e who were ineligible because of an increased bleeding risk (7.8% vs 7 .2%, p = NS), and was zero in patients with nondiagnostic electrocardi ograms.
