Summary
The primary objective of this study is to gather preliminary data regarding the angiographic
efficacy of the administration of low-dose adjunctive intracoronary (IC) tenecteplase during
balloon angioplasty for heart attacks.
We hypothesize that low-dose IC tenecteplase will enhance the breakdown of blood clots at the
site of the culprit lesion leading to reduced damage to the heart muscle.
