Figure 2 Type of acute reperfusion used in the different types of hospitals. Intravenous thrombolytic therapy was the most common reperfusion modality employed, even in hospitals equipped to perform invasive procedures such as IC lytic therapy, PTCA or CABG. CABG = coronary artery bypass grafting; IC lytic = intracoronary administration of thrombolytic; IV lytic = intravenous thrombolytic therapy; PTCA = percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Unshaded area = IV lytic; Shaded area = invasive: primary PTCA, immediate CABG or IC lytic.
