RESUMO

After successful thrombolysis, approximately 75% of all patients will have significant coronary stenosis, which can be dilated by means of percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTCA). In a randomized control study, 95 of our patients (Group I) had thrombolysis alone, whereas 95 others (Group II) had thrombolysis and PTCA. Both groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, infarct location, and maximal creatine kinase (CK) value.
