Figure 9 Subset of patients from the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 14 trial with TIMI grade 3 flow in the infarct artery at 90 min. Comparison of mean percent ST resolution from 90 to 180 min between patients who did and did not undergo early adjunctive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 90 to 180 min after fibrinolysis. Patients are further separated into those who received and did not receive abciximab (Abx) as part of the reperfusion regimen. In the presence of Abx pretreatment, early adjunctive PCI was associated with greater ST resolution, whereas in the absence of Abx pretreatment, ST resolution tended to be worse in patients who underwent PCI.

Abciximab and early adjunctive percutaneous coronary intervention are associated with improved ST segment resolution after thrombolysis: observations from the TIMI 14 trial.
