Current ESC STEMI & PCI Guidelines vs. 2009 Focused Updates of ACC/AHA STEMI Guidelines & ACC/AHA/SCAI PCI Guidelines Triage and transfer for PCI ESC STEMI 2008 (1) ACC/AHA focused updates 2009 (2) The implementation of network of hospitals connected by an efficient ambulance (helicopter) service and using a common protocol is key an optimal management of patients with STEMI. With such a network in place, target delay times should be: <10 min for ECG transmission; 5 min for tele-consultation; <30 min for ambulance arrival to start fibrynolytic therapy; and 120 min for ambulance arrival to first balloon inflation. Quality of care, appropriateness of reperfusion therapy, delay times and patients outcomes should be measured and compared at regular times and appropriate measures for improvement should be taken. (discussed but no exact recommendations) Each community should develop a STEMI system of care that follows standards at least as stringent as those developed for the AHA s national initiative, Mission: Lifeline, to include the following: ongoing multidisciplinary team meetings that include emergency medical services, non PCI-capable hospitals/stemi referral centers, and PCI-capable hospitals/stemi receiving centers to evaluate outcomes and quality improvement data; a process for prehospital identification and activation; destination protocols for STEMI receiving centers; transfer protocols for patients who arrive at STEMI referral centers who are primary PCI candidates, are ineligible for fibrinolytic drugs, and/or are in cardiogenic shock.

Conclusions Primary PCI reduces mortality in AMI patients =the best reperfusion method Network based Primary PCI program allows to increase reperfusion therapy rate High number of patients = high experience Well organized networks allows to reduce time delays =the best reperfusion method - for high number of patients in short time window When anticipated delay to Primary PCI is more than 90-120 min thrombolytic therapy is an option but with immediate transfer to cath lab hospital
Conclusions Primary PCI is preferred method of reperfusion Prehospital lysis may be an option if PCI related delay is very large Lysis is not the last step of reperfusion (CARESS, TRANSFER AMI) Lysis has important limitations: contraindications, bleeding complications, lower success rate
