Introduction and objectives

To analyze changes in healthcare delivery and results for primary angioplasty at Centro Hospitalario Universitario A Coru?a following implementation of the PROGALIAM protocol.

Methods

Observational registry of 1434 patients referred for primary angioplasty between 2003 and 2007. Results under PROGALIAM (May 2005 - December 2007; n=963) were compared with those from the preceding period (January 2003 - April 2005; n=388).

Results

After implementing PROGALIAM, there were increases in the number of primary angioplasty procedures (preceding period, 14.4 cases/month; PROGALIAM, 32.2 cases/month), mean patient age (preceding period, 61.3 (11.9) years; PROGALIAM, 64.2 (11.7) years; P<.001), and the percentage of patients referred from peripheral hospitals and treated after normal working hours. Overall median first medical contact-to-balloon time increased (previous period, 106 min; PROGALIAM, 113 min; P=.02), but decreased significantly among patients referred from noninterventional centers (previous period, 171 min; PROGALIAM, 146 min; P<.001). Percentage of cases with an first medical contact-to-balloon time <120 min remained unchanged among interventional-center patients (preceding period, 69 % ; PROGALIAM, 71 % ; P=.56) and increased among patients at noninterventional centers, although it remained low in this subgroup (preceding period, 17 % ; PROGALIAM, 30 % ; P=.04). Thirty-day mortality (preceding period, 5.2 % ; PROGALIAM, 6.2 % ; P=.85) and 1-year mortality (preceding period, 9.5 % ; PROGALIAM, 10.2 % ; P=.96) remained unchanged.

Conclusions

Implementation of PROGALIAM allowed us to increase the percentage of patients receiving primary angioplasty without jeopardizing the clinical results of this treatment.
