Abstract

Coronary blood flow in an infarct related artery (IRA) in patients that had streptokinase (SK), as the fibrinolytic of choice before percutaneous intervention (PCI), in comparison to the blood flow in patients that underwent primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI) has not been well understood or considered for studies in recent times. All patients presenting with STEMI diagnosis within less than 12 hours from diagnosis either at the centre or referred to the center after SK were screened. 200 patients were randomized into primary PCI (PPCI) or pharmacoinvasive PCI following SK (PhI-SK) administration 3-24 hours after SK. Failed SK patients underwent rescue PCI immediately. The outcome of IRA patency pre- and post PCI in both groups along with short term outcome of bleeding, re-infarction or cardiovascular death in 30 days were looked at. The end points were reached in 81 of 89 (91.0%) in the SK group and 21 of 98 (21.4%) in the PPCI group (p-value <0.001), while TIMI 3 flow was seen in 87 of 89 (98.7%) patients post PCI in the SK group and 69 of 98 (70.4%) patients of PPCI (p-value <0.001). The outcomes of bleeding, MI and death were not different among the groups. We concluded that Fibrinolysis with SK is a viable and safe reperfusion strategy in STEMI especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where PPCI is not commonly available within the guideline recommended time. It can reduce stress and risk of complications that can occur during PPCI. There is no any difference in the early outcomes of bleeding, MI and death between the two groups.
