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…

Myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock - Challenging cases

16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Cardiogenic shock is a complication that occurs in 5 to 10 % of MIs, and mortality remains very high. Although early revascularisation can save lives, inotropes still have their limitations, and data on the impact of mechanical circulatory assistance is limited. Watch this session to find...

MULTISTARS AMI: Multivessel immediate versus staged revascularization in STEMI

28 Aug 2023

Aaysha Cader interviews Barbara Elisabeth Stahli on the study design and results that she presented during the ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam. 

Immediate multivessel PCI was non-inferior to staged multivessel PCI for reducing death and ischemic events in patients with STEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease.

FIRE trial: physiology-guided complete PCI in older MI patients

27 Aug 2023

Luis Ortega-Paz interviews Simone Biscaglia and Gianluca Campo about the FIRE trial.
Results showed elderly patients presenting with either STEMI or NSTEMI benefit from complete revascularization, reducing cardiovascular events risk at 1 year compared to culprit lesion-only PCI.
