This chapter covers primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), with an investigation of the limitations of the competing thrombolysis procedure, optimal timing, and a discussion of the technical aspects associated with delivering PPCI. Comparing randomized trials that look at differential outcomes in both the short and long term, and covering the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for ST-elevation myocardial infarction treatment, the chapter provides an overview and analysis of the risks and benefits of PPCI.
