Stated simply, this is performance of a PCI in an open artery following fibrinolytic therapy.<unk>  PCI is defined as the intent to administer fibrinolytic agent in the setting of STEMI, and the performance of PCI for partial success of the fibrinolytic agent is unintended. If there are clinical signs and symptoms of incomplete reperfusion, then<unk>  PCI is performed to further open a patent artery (one with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow). The strategy differs from facilitated PCI, a strategy in which the intent is to administer a fibrinolytic agent, and the performance of PCI is intended to improve the fibrinolytic results.
