Early Discharge After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Randomized Multi-center Trial (the EDAP PCI Trial)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating early discharge for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Completed, enrolled 900 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
* When Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is performed expeditiously and at a high-volume centre, it is the optimal approach for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) . In contrast to the clarity of how to treat STEMI, there is no clear definition for when to discharge and which patient to discharge. * An early discharge strategy may be desired by all parties (financial health care provider, treating physician, nurse, patient, patient's relatives)involved in STEMI. * The main goal in our study is to test the hypothesis that an early discharge strategy within 48-56 hours in patients with successful PPCI is as safe as in those patients who stay longer (96-120 hours) as of a standard procedure.
