      ABSTRACT

      The use of thrombolytic therapy has revolutionized the

      medical management of patients with acute myocardial

      infarction (AMI), increasing survival and preserving left

      ventricular function. Despite these beneficial effects of

      fibrinolytic therapy, many limitations exist, such as high

      rates of persistent occluded vessel, recurrent ischemia,

      intracranial bleeding, and contraindications preventing its

      use. To improve these deficiencies, several strategies of

      myocardial reperfusion have emerged. The efficacy of

      primary angioplasty (mechanical reperfusion without

      prior thrombolysis) has been widely evaluated, and in

      the last years other strategies, such as early rescue

      angioplasty (angioplasty for failed thrombolysis) and

      facilitated primary angioplasty (pharmacological reperfu-

      sion before angioplasty) have became an area of intense

      investigation.
