Description
Summary:Estimation of long-term outcome for patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty in an alsatian public center. Two-hundred and ninety-eight patients who underwent an urgent coronarography in a non-university center, with a view to immediate angioplasty, between January 1999 and December 2001. Two-hundred and sixty-four patients (88.6%) were actually treated with urgent angioplasty, which has been successful in 87.1% of cases. Hospital mortality was of 7.7%. The population was composed of 16.4% patients older than 75 and of 11.7% patients with Killip 3 or 4 at admission. Mean follow-up was 34 months, lost to follow-up rate was of 4.7%. The global survival rate was of 78.9% and event-less survival rate of 41.9%. Our results confirm the efficiency of angioplasty in real-life conditions as well at short-term as at long-term.
