Both thrombolysis and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) are effective methods for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In our centre we perform primary PTCA during the available schedule of the hemodynamics laboratory. In this article we compare the predischarge evolution of patients submitted to each therapeutic procedure. From January 1996 to June 1997, 298 patients were admitted with the diagnosis of AMI. Eighty-four patients (28%) were thrombolysed (TB group) and 30 patients (10%) underwent primary PTCA (PTCA group). There were no significant differences among the two groups concerning demographic characteristics: age (61 +/- 13--TB and 59 +/- 12 years--PTCA); sex (male 81%--TB; 83%--PTCA), risk factors and previous cardiac history. The mean time since the onset of symptoms until arrival at the hospital was 156 +/- 156 minutes for TB and 202 +/- 210 minutes for PTCA (p < 0.02). The delay since admission until the beginning of treatment was 100 +/- 88 minutes for TB and 119 +/- 142 minutes for PTCA. The primary success rate of PTCA was 94% and there were no complications during the procedure. During the hospital stay, 12 patients developed post-infarction angina in the TB group and two patients in the PTCA group; in 15 patients of the TB group a revascularization procedure was performed (surgery in 5 and PTCA in 10 patients); one patient suffered reinfarction in the TB group. Two patients of the TB group (2.4%) had intracranial hemorrhage; the in-hospital mortality was 9.5% in the TB group and 3.3% in the PTCA (p < 0.001). The mean in-hospital stay was 11 +/- 5.6 in the TB group and 7.8 +/- 2.5 days in the PTCA group (p = 0.055). In our experience, primary PTCA in AMI appeared to be a safe procedure with lower occurrence of coronary events and hemorrhagic complication, with an earlier hospital discharge when compared to thrombolysis.
