Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Primary PCI refers to mechanical recanalisation of occluded artery with a balloon catheter without prior administration of thrombolytic therapy in acute STEMI. Primary PCI is a very effective method for reestablishing coronary perfusion, with reported rates of TIMI-3 flow about 90%.
