Q1: Which reperfusion strategy would you
select as optimal for this patient if the nearest
cardiac center were 3 hours drive away?
a) Immediate transfer to cardiac cath lab for primary PCI
b) Immediate fibrinolysis and then transfer to cardiac centre
c) Immediate fibrinolysis with transfer only if no reperfusion
Choosing the Optimal Reperfusion Strategy
 Goal is rapid reperfusion
 Time targets from first medical contact to treatment


Fibrinolysis 30 minutes
Primary angioplasty (PPCI) 90-120 minutes
 Delayed reperfusion associated with increased mortality
 When time to PPCI will exceed 90-120 minutes fibrinolysis
should be given immediately
 Time delay for PPCI to achieve greater benefit than
fibrinolysis may be less than 90 minutes when

All delays are related to FMC (first medical contact).

Q2: In the event that the patient receives
fibrinolysis, which anticoagulant is preferred?
a) UHF
b) Enoxaparin
c) Fondaparinux
Q3: Which would be the optimal antiplatelet agent
to add to the anticoagulant?
a) clopidogrel
b) ticagrelor
c) prasugrel
Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy
with Fibrinolysis
 Anticoagulation

Initiate UFH, enoxaparin or fondaparinux immediately after
administration of fibrinolytic agent
• UFH 70u/kg iv
• Enoxaparin
– <75yrs old 30mg iv bolus followed by s/c 1mg/kg
– >75yrs old no iv bolus, s/c 1mg/kg

Fondaparinux 2.5mg s/c
 Antiplatelet Therapy


ASA 81-160mg po
Clopidogrel
• <75 yrs old 300mg load followed by 75mg daily
• > 75 yrs old no load, 75mg po daily
NB Ticagrelor and Prasugrel should not be used with fibrinolysis as they have not
been tested in this situation
2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Need for PCI after Fibrinolysis
 Rescue PCI

Failed fibrinolysis
• Persistence of chest pain
• Failure of ST elevation to decrease more than 50% at 1 hr
after fibrinolysis
 Pharmaco-Invasive strategy

Consider routine transfer patients to cardiac centre for PCI
within 2-24 hrs of fibrinolysis

Primary PCI for STEMI
 Improved outcomes if PPCI performed in timely manner
 Delayed PPCI worse than timely fibrinolysis
 Goal

Patient contact to PCI < 90 minutes for most patients
 Adjuvant anticoagulation / antiplatelet agents

Q4: How would you have handled this patient if
in addition to medical history described, he also
had a recent (past 6 months) CVA?
a) Administer fibrinolysis
b) Transfer to regional cardiac centre for PCI
c) Manage medically with UFH and ASA
2013 STEMI Management
 Early identification of STEMI- pre hospital preferred
 Performing 12-lead ECG by EMS personnel or at site of first
medical contact
 Early decision for reperfusion strategy and administration within
12 hours of symptom onset for all eligible STEMI patients
 Primary PCI preferred if can be performed in timely manner
(First medical contact to PCI < 90 -120 min)
 Consider fibrinolysis in young anterior STEMI presenting
< 120 minutes from symptom onset if PCI not available within
60 minutes
O’Gara et al 2013 ACCF/AHA STEMI Guideline Executive Summary
2013 STEMI Management (cond’t)
 Following fibrinolysis consider referral for early PCI
 Choice of anticoagulant / antiplatelet agent depends upon
reperfusion strategy and policy of PCI centre (P2Y12 receptor
inhibitor therapy prior to PCI and maintenance for a year; ASA
160-325mg loading and 81mg maintenance; UHF, bivalirudin
with or without prior UHF)

Figure 1. Reperfusion therapy for patients with STEMI. The bold arrows and boxes are the preferred strategies. Performance of PCI is dictated by an anatomically appropriate culprit
stenosis. *Patients with cardiogenic shock or severe heart failure initially seen at a non-PCI-capable hospital should be transferred for cardiac catheterization and revascularization as
soon as possible, irrespective of time delay from MI onset (Class I, LOE: B). Ϯangiography and revascularization should not be performed within the first 2 to 3 hours after administration
of fibrinolytic therapy. CABG indicates coronary artery bypass graft; DiDO, door-in-door-out; FMC, first medical contact; LOE, Level of Evidence; MI, myocardial infarction; PCI,
percutaneous coronary intervention; and STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
