ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Latest STEMI content in interventional cardiology - research, practice, and education

Treating STEMI brings into play a series of clinical and organisational 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…

What is the role of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock in patient with AMI?

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Shrilla Banerjee and Valeria Paradies were invited to talk about a subject that was very often raised during EuroPCR 2023: how to save both the patient and the myocardium in case of cardiogenic shock?

As there is currently little evidence of the benefits of mechanical circulatory assistance, which...

What is the role of intra-coronary physiology in guiding complete revascularisation?

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Nicola Ryan and Roberto Diletti discuss strategies for complete revascularisation in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and more specifically patients presenting with STEMI and multivessel disease.

What impact does physiology have on the completeness of revascularisation? Should complete revascularisation be guided by physiology? How does it improve performance? In...
