TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction; LAD: left anterior descending artery; CFX: circumflex coronary artery; RCA: right coronary artery; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention. The data presented are or (percentage) or median (95% confidence interval (CI)). The comparison of data between the two groups was done by the Student test or Fisher’s exact test.
