AIMS: To study the long-term survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In-hospital and 2-year survival of 40 patients treated with primary PCI after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and STEMI was compared with that of a reference group of 325 STEMI patients, without cardiac arrest, also treated with primary PCI in the same period. RESULTS: In the group with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, both in-hospital and 2-year mortality was 27.5%. In the reference group, in-hospital and 2-year mortality was 4.9 and 7.1%, respectively. After discharge from hospital there was no significant difference in mortality between the groups. CONCLUSION: Long-term prognosis is good in selected patients after successful out-of-hospital CPR and STEMI treated with primary PCI.
