Reconsidering fibrinolysis in selected patients with non–ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome: A hypothesis-generating, research-based framework
- hypothesis-generating, research-based framework
Authors' conclusion
This article does not propose a change in clinical practice. Instead, it outlines a hypothesis-generating, research-based framework to explore whether, in highly selected circumstances and in the absence of timely PCI, fibrinolytic therapy could be studied in NSTE-ACS patients with probable acute coronary occlusion identified by advanced diagnostic tools.
Study context
- Population
- Selected non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients in whom timely angiographic evaluation or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unavailable
