Primary PCI outside of the box: unusual STEMI cases

Summary

This session presents unusual STEMI cases managed with primary PCI outside conventional protocols. Cases include heavily calcified lesions, STEMIs with non-flow-limiting stenoses, simultaneous occlusions with cardiac arrest, and other complex presentations, highlighting diverse interventional strategies.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Hanging by a thread: A STEMI patient with heavily calcified thread-like lesion at ostial LAD
  • Two cases of STEMIs in non-flow-limiting coronary stenosis with high level of radial wall strain
  • Heart-stopping double trouble – left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery occlusion in STEMI with cardiac arrest
  • A bend in the plan
