Abstract
Primary PCI is the dominant reperfusion strategy for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and continues to evolve. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent reports that focused on the relationship of door-to-balloon time with mortality, radial versus femoral artery access, aspiration thrombectomy, culprit versus multivessel primary PCI, drug-eluting stents, and anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies.
