ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the safety and outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) transferred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Data from patients with ST elevation AMI urgently transferred from first admitted hospitals to our cath-lab to receive primary PCI were analyzed. According to time intervals from symptom onset to transfer, the patients were divided into early transfer (< 6 h, n = 26), delayed transfer (6 - 24 h, n = 39) and late transfer (24 h to 1 week, n = 18) group. The major cardiac events during transfer periods and one month after PCI were obtained and echocardiogram and left ventricular systolic functions were compared among groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no serious cardiac event during transfer period and all 83 patients received primary PCI with a mean transfer-to-balloon time about 180 minutes. Success rate of PCI was 92.3% in early transfer group, 89.7% in delayed transfer group, and 94.4% in late transfer group (P > 0.05). At one month follow-up after PCI, 0, 10.3% and 16.7% of patients developed heart failure in early, delayed transfer and late transfer group respectively (P > 0.05 vs. early), the LVEF of early transfer group (53.2% +/- 9.7%) was also significantly higher than delayed transfer group (48.6% +/- 8.2%, P < 0.05) and late transfer group (43.1% +/- 10.3%, P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Transfer patients with AMI for primary PCI is safe in the observed time intervals during acute phase. Early transferred patients are associated with better outcome at 1 month post PCI compared to delayed and late transferred AMI patients.</p>
