Figure 1 Typical Treatment Delays According to Reperfusion Strategy
Typical treatment delays when considering: (A) in-hospital fibrinolysis, (B) interhospital transfer for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), (C) pre-hospital rerouting to the catheterization laboratory at a high-volume percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) center, and (D) admission at a local low-volume PCI center. For the various "PCI-related delays," the acceptable transport time is presented for patients rerouted to a PCI center pre-hospital.
