Intravenous streptokinase already has been demonstrated safe and beneficial in acute myocardial infarction. The adjunction of early angiography seems to be safe, providing the possibility of full revascularization in a larger number of patients with a high rate of primary success. The improvement of global ventricular function, the reduction of mortality, post infarction angina and reocclusion have to be confirmed by longer follow-up.
