Very Early Discharge After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Mortality Outcomes at Six Months
Abstract
Background
Current guidelines recommend that low risk patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and undergoing uncomplicated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) can be discharged home in 48–72 h. We report the safety of early discharge in STEMI patients undergoing uncomplicated PPCI after 24-h stay in-hospital.
