ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Watch this session to learn more about complications of coronary perforation, thanks to a selection of two challenging cases: a percutaneous ventricular support device absorbing guidewire during STEMI PCI, as well as a guidewire-induced perforation of tortuous small distal coronary artery.

Through this registry-based analysis, the authors sought to assess short and long-term outcomes of revascularisation in a latecomer STEMI population presenting between 12 to 48 hours of symptom onset.

The objective of the IAMI1 trial was to determine whether early influenza vaccination reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in patients admitted with an acute-MI or high-risk stable coronary artery disease in an adequately powered randomized control trial setting.

Hirotoshi Watanabe (Kyoto, Japan) presented the results of the STOPDAPT-2 ACS trial in a Hot Line session of the ESC Congress 2021. Dejan Milasinovic provides his analysis of this study.

Elad Asher analyses this study which compared the benefits of immediate coronary angiography with those of initial intensive care assessment with delayed angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Hot Line session of the ESC Congress 2021.

Vijay Kunadian summarizes the key points of the LBT session of the ESC congress 2021 held on Sunday, 29 August focusing on the Lancet Commission to reduce the global burden of heart disease in women by 2030.

The aims of this study were to assess the use of antiplatelet drugs in medically treated spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) patients and to investigate the relationship between single (SAPT) and dual (DAPT) antiplatelet regimens and 1-year patient outcomes.

The origin of circumflex from the main RCA has a reported incidence of 0.37 %. Here are two very unusual cases of an anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the proximal RCA, one of them with inferior STEMI and VT.

Find out more about the results of this analysis which suggest that operator experience may be an important effect modifier in ROTA-PCI.

The HOST-EXAM trial sought to define whether, after DAPT for PCI with DES, clopidogrel monotherapy is associated with improved outcomes compared with aspirin monotherapy.
