Complex anatomy in STEMI patients

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: A. Mirza, M. Sabate

Summary

This session addresses the unique challenges posed by complex coronary anatomy in STEMI patients. Through detailed case discussions, it highlights management of anomalous culprit origins, multifaceted infarcts, rare presentations, and urgent primary PCI strategies in anatomically complex scenarios. The session emphasizes adaptive techniques to navigate unexpected complexities that can arise during STEMI interventions.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Anomalous culprit origin in STEMI: a very long challenging night
  • When an inferior STEMI hides more than a culprit lesion
  • We're going to need a bigger boat
  • When STEMI breaks the rules: a challenging case less seen or never seen
  • Myocardial infarction in a patient with a unique artery
  • When complexity cannot wait: primary PCI in anterior STEMI with complex coronary anatomy
