Data from the Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction (STREAM) trial(6) and 5-year results from the French Registry of Acute ST-Elevation and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (FAST-MI)(7) are evaluated for further evidence on the effectiveness and safety of a pharmacoinvasive approach for patients presenting with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
