ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Find all the latest content on STEMI published on this website.

Treating STEMI brings into play a series of clinical and organizational protocols in constant evolution. Today, patients presenting with STEMI are best treated by early reperfusion strategies of which primary PCI is the preferred method. Keep up-to-date on the role of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, advances in imaging techniques and the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment. Tools, devices and techniques as well as complications, such as the different types of vascular access or bleeding risk can be found here as well…

Half-dose tenecteplase or primary PCI in older patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: The STREAM-2 1-year mortality follow-up results

15 Nov 2023

Aaysha Cader interviews Peter Sinnaeve on the STREAM-2 1-year mortality follow-up results, which were presented at the AHA 2023 Congress in Philadelphia.
Results suggest that a pharmaco-invasive strategy provides an alternative for older STEMI patients unable to undergo primary PCI.
