Abstract：Objective To evaluate the influence of different clinic pathways on the time from first medical contact to balloon (FMC2B) and the time from door to balloon (D2B) for emergency patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention as well as the prognosis. Methods 183 consecutive patients were divided into emergency easy access group and normal access group. The two groups were compared in terms of the FMC2B time, D2B time and outcomes during hospitalization and follow-up. Results Compared with the normal access group, the FMC2B time in the emergency easy access group was significantly shorter (100.3 min vs. 145.6 min, P < 0.05) and so it was with the D2B time (77.1 min vs. 115.4 min, P<0.05). Meanwhile, in-hospital mortality was significantly lower (5.0%vs. 15.7%, P<0.05). The follow-ups showed the rates of re-hospitalization related to heart diseases, and the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease were significantly lower in the emergency easy access group. Conclusion The optimized emergency easy access could reduce the FMC2B time and D2B time and improve the prognosis of patients with STEMI.
