Sažetak
Urgent invasive coronary strategy including coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is feasible and safe in combination with mild induced hypothermia and may significantly improve survival with good neurological outcome in comatose patients after reestablishment of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The starting hypothermia already in the prehospital setting or immediately after arrival to the catheterization laboratory to complement urgent coronary angiography and PCI seems to be a logical strategy.
