Abstract

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now the recommended reperfusion technique for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, despite early reperfusion in the majority of patients, PCI does not achieve effective myocardial reperfusion in a significant proportion of patients due to the prevalence of coronary microvascular obstruction. The amount of infarcted myocardium has been considered to be a reliable indicator of major adverse cardiovascular events and resultant adverse left ventricular remodeling. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical benefits of supersaturated oxygen therapy following PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
