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…

Is PCI enough in STEMI?

18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

With study results and case presentations, in this EuroPCR 2022 session, our experts try to demonstrate the need for improved outcomes in STEMI, and enable you to understand how infarct size and microvascular obstruction impact these outcomes, and to learn about SuperSaturated Oxygen Therapy and the data supporting infarct...

EROSION III: a multicenter RCT of OCT-guided reperfusion in STEMI with early infarct artery patency

19 Apr 2022

This is an interesting study showing that in patients with STEMI with early infarct artery patency, OCT guidance compared with angiographic guidance of reperfusion was associated with less stent implantation during primary PCI.
