Patient perspectives on left main stem revascularization strategies, the OPINION-2 study.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, patients who are informed about risk and benefits of each treatment modality clearly favor PCI over CABG and particularly value lower short-term morbidity while being aware of higher risk of repeat revascularization. Lower educational level was associated with a higher prevalence of psychosomatic phenotypes and a 14% preference for CABG. Educational and psychosocial background matter in the revascularization strategy decision-making process. PMID: 33041162 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

0417 : Thrombolisis with tenecteplase (metalyse) in myocardial infarction an always topical issue
Conclusion Thrombolysis by Tenecteplase of STEMI admitted to ICCU was successfull in 89% of cases, which proves its effectiveness compared with other thrombolytic agents. The reperfusion rate was inversely proportional to time limit chest pain – arrival at ER. Patient education to call the ambulance (190) in case of chest pain should improve this delay and increase the reperfusion rate. The author hereby declares no conflict of interest
