ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Watch this session to discover a selection of STEMI cases presented at GulfPCR-GIM 2021, and learn more about: the treatment of intramural haematoma and AMI, the role of plaque modifying device in ACS, the therapeutic strategy for a pan-coronary vulnerability, the importance of stent visualisation to improve...

Vijay Kunadian provides summaries of study designs and findings in Interventional Cardiology released at the 2021 virtual edition of the American Heart Association Congress. View an infographic of the AVATAR late-breaking trial by Ali Nazmi Calik.

The FUTURE Trial is a prospective randomised, multicentre, open label superiority trial comparing an FFR guided treatment strategy to traditional angiography guided treatment strategy on clinical outcomes in an all-comer population with multivessel coronary artery disease.

Elad Asher reviews the EROSION III trial, presented by Haibo Jia, which studied whether OCT guidance compared with angiographic guidance only is associated with lower stent rate implantation during pPCI in STEMI patients with non-obstructive stenosis.

There are limited data evaluating long-term outcomes of IVUS use in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to examine the impact of IVUS-guided PCI on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with AMI.
