Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

To show whether addition of thrombolytic treatment by a single bolus injection of tenecteplase prior to early standard PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) will improve the clinical outcome in patients with large acute myocardial infarcts as compared to primary PCI alone.
