This document provides information on primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It describes the clinical presentation of STEMI and time-sensitive treatment with either thrombolysis or PPCI. PPCI is shown to reduce mortality, reinfarction, and need for bypass surgery compared to thrombolysis. The document outlines the PPCI procedure, complications, post-procedure observations and care including monitoring for arrhythmias, puncture site bleeding, vital sign changes, pain, and left ventricular failure. Psychological support is also emphasized.
