Abstract

Despite the fact that door-to-balloon times have been greatly reduced, the rates of death and the incidence of heart failure in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) have plateaued. There is still an unmet need to further reduce MI size in the reperfusion era. Most adjunctive therapies to enhance myocardial salvage have failed, but some have shown promise. Currently, the only adjunctive therapy in a pivotal trial that has demonstrated reductions in infarct size is localized delivery of supersaturated oxygen (SSO
