[Preclinical fibrinolysis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a rural region].

CONCLUSION: In emergency situations with long transportation times to the nearest suitable cardiac catheterisation laboratory, preclinical fibrinolysis in STEMI still represents a workable method. Success of this strategy requires particularly strong training of the emergency physicians in ECG and lysis therapy, and co-operation with nearby cardiac centres.
