The comparative assessment of lethality, incidence of development of repeated myocardial infarction and complications, indices which evidence in favour of improvement of the left ventricular function in 36 patients with acute myocardial infarction (group 1) who underwent superselective intracoronary thrombolysis alone, and in 10 patients (group 2) who underwent emergency coronary angioplasty after successful intracoronary thrombolysis is presented. The best immediate and long-term results were noted in group 2 patients.
