REPERFUSION THERAPY IN STEMI
PRIMARY PCI is defined as percutaneous intervention in the
setting of STEMI without previous or
concomitant fibrinolytic treatment.

Reperfusion Therapy for Patients with STEMI
*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). †Angiography and revascularization should not be performed
within the first 2 to 3 hours after administration of fibrinolytic therapy.

total dose is 100 mg for patients weighing more than 67 kg. This is the most common alteplase infusion
parameter used for AMI.
Reteplase
First, reconstitute two 10-U vials with sterile water (10 mL) to 1 U/mL. The adult dose of reteplase for AMI
consists of 2 IV boluses of 10 units each; there is no weight adjustment. The first 10 U IV bolus is given over 2
minutes; 30 minutes later, a second 10 U IV bolus is given over 2 minutes. Administer normal saline (NS) flush
before and after each bolus.
Tenecteplase
To reconstitute tenecteplase, mix the 50-mg vial in 10 mL sterile water (5 mg/mL). Tenecteplase is admini
in a 30-50 mg IV bolus over 5 seconds. The dosage is calculated on the basis of the patient’s weight, as follows:
< 60 kg - 30 mg (6 mL)
60 to 69 kg - 35 mg (7 mL)
70 to 79 kg - 40 mg (8 mL)
80 to 89 kg - 45 mg (9 mL)
≥ 90 kg - 50 mg (10 mL)
Streptokinase
The adult dose of streptokinase for AMI is 1.5 million U in 50 mL of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) given IV over 60
minutes. Allergic reactions force the termination of many infusions before a therapeutic dose can be
administered.
APSAC
The adult dose of APSAC (anistreplase) for AMI is 30 U given IV over 2-5 minutes

Convincing evidence of the effectiveness of aspirin was demonstrated by the ISIS-2
trial,79 in which the benefits of aspirin and streptokinase were additive. The first dose of
150–325 mg should be chewed (no enteric-coated aspirin because of slow onset of
action) and a lower dose (75–100 mg) given orally daily thereafter. If oral ingestion is not
possible, aspirin can be given i.v. (250–500 mg). In the CLARITY trial, patients ≤75 years
were treated with a standard fibrinolytic regimen and randomized to 300 mg clopidogrel
loading dose followed by 75 mg per day or placebo on top of aspirin up to and including
the day of angiography with a maximum of 8 days (mean duration 3 days). By 30 days,
clopidogrel therapy reduced the odds of the composite end-point of death from
cardiovascular causes, recurrent myocardial infarction, or recurrent ischaemia, leading to
a reduction of the need for urgent revascularization of 20%. The rates of major bleeding
and intracranial haemorrhage were similar in the two groups.52 In the COMMIT
study,80 45 852 Chinese patients of any age (but <1000 patients >75 years) with
suspected myocardial infarction (93% with STEMI) were randomized to clopidogrel 75 mg
(no loading dose) or placebo in addition to aspirin. Clopidogrel significantly reduced the
odds of the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, corresponding to nine
fewer events per 1000 patients treated for ∼2 weeks. Accordingly, there is a good case
for the routine use of clopidogrel in the acute phase

STREAM STUDY - CONCLUSIONS
A strategy of fibrinolysis with bolus tenecteplase and
contemporary antithrombotic therapy given before
transport to a PCI-capable hospital coupled with timely
coronary angiography :
�circumvents the need for an urgent procedure in about
two thirds of fibrinolytic treated STEMI patients.
�is associated with a small increased risk of intracranial
bleeding.
�is as effective as primary PCI in STEMI patients presenting
within 3 hours of symptom onset who cannot undergo
primary PCI within one hour of first medical contact.

2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In this trial, 1572 STEMI patients were randomized within 12 hours of symptom onset to a fibrinolytic versus
a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy in both community (n=1129) and primary PCI
(n=443) hospitals.19 This study integrated an inter-institutional transfer policy for those randomized to
primary PCI if it could be achieved within 3 hours. The Data and Safety Monitoring Board prematurely
terminated DANAMI 2 because of the perception of “clear benefit” of primary PCI. Although DANAMI 2 did
show a substantial reduction in the composite 30-day endpoint of death, re-MI, and disabling stroke (13.7%
versus 8.0%; P=0.003) in favor of the primary PCI strategy, this outcome was overwhelmingly influenced by
the reduction in reinfarction (from 6.3% to 1.6%; P<0.0001). Importantly, this reduction in reinfarction
occurred in a clinical environment where transfer from a community hospital was considered
“investigational” if a mechanical intervention after fibrinolysis was needed. Hence, urgent PCI occurred in
only 2.5% of patients, even though 28% of the patients were randomized in interventional institutions. An
additional study, interpreted by some as impetus to move to an overall primary PCI strategy, was conducted
by the Cardiovascular Patients Outcomes Research Team (C-PORT) investigators who randomized 451 STEMI
patients within 12 hours of symptom onset to primary PCI versus tPA.20 Although there was no difference in
mortality, there was a substantial reduction in the composite endpoints of death, re-MI, and stroke with
primary PCI (17.7% versus 10.7% with tPA; P=0.03); this was again largely accounted for by a reduction in an
unusually high reinfarction rate amongst fibrinolytic-treated versus PCI-treated patients (8.8% versus
4%; P=0.04). Hence, in both the aforementioned studies, which used unfractionated heparin as the
antithrombin fibrinolytic partner, the recurrent infarction rate was by far the most important element in the
composite endpoint and seemed unusually high relative to other trials. This is well demonstrated in Figure 2,
where we compare the incidence of recurrent infarction in a number of recent STEMI studies that evaluated
fibrinolysis and antithrombin therapy; it is useful to evaluate them in the context of the frequency with
which mechanical cointervention with PCI was used.
