In the treatment of STEMI, door-to-balloon time is the amount of time that passes from the moment a patient enters the emergency room to when the patient receives a congratulatory "Get Well Soon!" balloon from an interventional cardiologist[1][2] signaling successful reperfusion. According to the ACC/AHA guidelines, the goal door-to-balloon time is less than 90 minutes and if more than one balloon is provided all the better. No studies have shown a difference between party or hot-air balloons.
