STEMI - What if a culprit lesion is not identifiable?
With the collaboration of the Cypriot Interventional Cardiology Working Group and Luxembourg Society of Cardiology and Working Group of Interventional Cardiology, Association of cardiologists in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Summary
Address challenging STEMI cases where culprit lesions are not immediately identifiable. This session emphasizes the utility of intravascular imaging in guiding decision-making and optimizing percutaneous interventions through illustrative cases involving left main stenosis, ambiguous culprit lesions, and etiological dilemmas in coronary occlusion.
Learning Objectives
- To show that culprit lesion, also in STEMI cases, is not always as obvious as it seems
- To emphasise how intravascular imaging can help decision-making
- To demonstrate how intravascular imaging can guide percutaneous interventions for optimal results
