In 151 patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction, emergency coronary angioplasty was performed as primary therapy. Overall, angioplasty was successful in 132 patients (87%); it was successful in 91 (85%) of 107 patients with a totally occluded infarct-related artery and in 41 (93%) of 44 patients with a subtotally occluded infarct-related artery. After successful angioplasty, mean residual stenosis was 29% (range 0 to 70). Eighteen patients were in cardiogenic shock (12%) including four patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the angioplasty procedure. Hospital mortality was 9%, with 7 of 13 deaths occurring in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock or intractable ventricular arrhythmia. Hospital mortality was 5% in patients with successful angioplasty versus 37% in those with unsuccessful angioplasty (p less than 0.001). In the immediate period after angioplasty, left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly lower for patients with lesions of the left anterior descending artery (34 +/- 10%) than for patients with lesions of the left circumflex or right coronary artery (43 +/- 11%). In patients with successful angioplasty, significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction averaged 13 +/- 12% (p less than 0.001) for those with lesions of the left anterior descending artery and 10 +/- 12% (p less than 0.001) for those with lesions of the left circumflex or right coronary artery. Repeat coronary angiography was performed in 85 (70%) of 121 patients who had successful angioplasty and survived hospitalization without requiring bypass surgery; restenosis was found in 26 (31%), and angioplasty was repeated in 22 patients, successfully in each.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
