Abstract
Assessment of tissue viability after myocardial infarction has become an important issue in recent years because the widespread use of thrombolytic therapy in acute infarction has limited infarct size and has improved prognosis. The issue of the therapeutic management of the residual stenosis of the infarct related coronary artery is still controversial.
