STEMI: thrombus is the problem

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions

Summary

This session will feature a series of selected clinical case submissions from EuroPCR 2024, focusing on the management of STEMI patients with a high thrombotic burden. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore various strategies and techniques, such as the use of pharmacomechanical thromboaspiration, prevention of thrombus embolization, and the treatment of no-reflow in acute coronary syndromes. The session will provide valuable insights and practical tips for navigating these challenging STEMI scenarios.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Massive aneurysm with double culprit in STEMI: should I stent or should I go?
  • Thrombus embolisation: prevention is better than cure (shocking case)
  • Inferior STEMI with large thronbus burden: how should I treat?
  • When dealing with massive intracoronary thrombus, all tricks are allowed!
  • STEMI with stubborn heavy thrombus burden
  • Successful treatment of no-reflow in ACS
  • Antithrombotic treatment for acute presentation in coronary artery ectasia
