Primary PCI in different situations
With the collaboration of the Algerian Group of Interventional Cardiology, Working group of interventional cardiology, Cardiology Society of Serbia, Lebanese Society of Cardiology and Stent - Save a Life! initiative
Summary
This session, in collaboration with various international cardiology societies, focuses on the management of primary PCI in different challenging situations. It presents three cases: a late-comer STEMI patient requiring unconventional techniques, a STEMI patient with a free-floating thrombus in the left main, and a STEMI patient with an unrecognized mechanism of the myocardial infarction. The discussions emphasize the importance of tailoring the treatment approach, utilizing specialized techniques, and addressing the underlying causes to achieve optimal outcomes in these complex primary PCI scenarios.
Learning Objectives
- To learn about management of STEMI in late comers
- To manage no-reflow situations
- To manage left main lesion in STEMI
