ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Among the 4 GulfPCR-GIM 2022 cases presented in this session, discover a curious case of type 4 dual left anterior descending artery presenting with STEMI, or an inferior wall STEMI with complete heart block in anomalous right coronary artery.

In this GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session, watch a series of STEMI cases and learn more about left main stem, bifurcation, imaging, large thrombus situation, and cardiogenic shock in this particular context and follow the ensuing discussions to be better prepared if you were ever faced with it yourself.

The present systematic review and meta-analysis by Ferrante et al aimed to provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the effects of DRA vs TRA, by pooling data from randomised controlled trials (RCT) comparing these two access sites when used for coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention...

Contrast staining during coronary angioplasty is an ominous sign, usually indicating deep artery wedging by the guide catheter, or vessel dissection / perforation. The author presents an unusual cause of LMCA staining during primary LAD PCI.

The HOST-EXAM trial1 was a prospective, randomised, open-label trial investigating clopidogrel monotherapy versus aspirin therapy in patients undergoing PCI with DES who had completed 6-18 months of DAPT with no ischaemic or bleeding complications. At 24 months follow-up, clopidogrel monotherapy significantly reduced the risk of the...

Optical Coherence Tomography fractional flow reserve (OCT-FFR) has been shown to correlate well with wire-based FFR; however, clinical outcomes based on OCT-FFR are not well defined. In this retrospective study, the authors sought to investigate the relationship between OCT-FFR and long-term clinical outcomes in ACS.
