AB  - OBJECTIVE: To find the optimal time (early: < or =3 days; late: >3 days) for 
      revascularization in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the 
      subacute phase. METHODS: Ninety-nine STEMI patients who were admitted to Gazi 
      University Faculty of Medicine between 2000 and 2004 were enrolled into this 
      study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to time from the beginning 
      of symptoms to the percutaneous coronary intervention. Coronary angiograms before 
      and after the revascularization were evaluated using the quantitative coronary 
      angiogram technique. RESULTS: 45 early (group I) and 54 late (group II) 
      revascularized patients were evaluated. There were no significant differences 
      between the 2 groups regarding demographic properties, thrombus score, success of 
      the procedure, quantitative angiographic parameters, and clinical results of the 
      procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Waiting for the development of stable phase in STEMI to 
      apply PCI has no obvious benefit for angiographic and clinical results.
