A new approach of green-emergency net and track in rescuing patients with ST-elevated infarction

AIM:To study the feasibility and effect of a new approach of green-emergency net and track in rescuing patients with ST-elevated myocardil infarction (STEMI). METHODS: Sixty-six STEMI patients (Group A) were treated with the new approach and 42 STEMI patients were treated traditionally as the control group (Group B). Door-to-balloon (D2B) time, occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and influence on prognosis after 3-6 months from operation were compared between groups. RESULTS: Compared with group B, the median D2B time in group A was significantly shortened ［(88±11) min vs.(138±12) min; P<0.01］ and occurrence of MACE also significantly decreased (6% vs. 19%). CONCLUSION: The new approach of green-emergency net and track in rescuing STEMI patients significantly reduces the D2B time and occurrence of MACE, thus remarkably improving the prognosis.
