What are the benefits of immediate transfer for early catheterization for high-risk patients with STEMI?
The benefits of immediate transfer for early catheterization for high-risk patients with STEMI include a reduction in the incidence of recurrent infarction or ischemia, as well as a reduction in the incidence of death, recurrent MI, or stroke. Furthermore, a meta-analysis showed that routine early catheterization after fibrinolysis was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of death or MI at 30 days and at 1 year, without an increase in the risk of major bleeding.
