It is superior to pharmacological reperfusion with fibrinolysis
in patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial
infarction (STEMI) when it can be performed expeditiously
by an experienced team in a hospital with an established
interventional cardiology programme (24 h/7 days) and the
PCI related time delay compared to fibrinolysis is no longer
than 90–120 minutes [2-8]
