How should I treat a patient with bifurcation coronary disease - A patient's journey

04 Mar 2023 – From AfricaPCR 2023

Consider the case of a 66-year-old male patient with no previous cardiac history, but HTN for 20 years, presenting after a successfully thrombolysed inferior STEMI within the 12 hours, no other immediately obvious risk factor for IHD, good baseline functional capacity and normal bio-profile, and compare...
