Abstract
We conclude that (1) prehospital start of tirofiban for facilitated PCI is safe and effective if administered by experienced emergency physicians; (2) routine fibrinolysis should be limited to areas where catheter based therapy is not available within 90 min and (3) fibrinolysis should be given for facilitated PCI in randomized trials only at the moment.
