NORDISTEMI

Summary: Patients with delayed presentation of MI (symptoms for at least 6 hours) treated with immediate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus thrombolysis with possible rescue PCI if clinically indicated. Primary endpoint of composite death, reinfarction, stroke or new ischemia at 30 days was reduced, but not at 12 months. Secondary endpoint of composite death, stroke and reinfarction was reduced at 12 months, but not 30 days. There was no difference in bleeding in both groups.
