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…

Our patient with high-bleeding risk and acute coronary syndrome

17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Follow the discussions about a 54-year-old active smoker on NOAC for a recent PAE, with inferior STEMI, and address the following points: radial difficulties, angio projections, thrombus aspiration, nonculprit PCI in STEMI, and best DAPT strategy for an elderly STEMI patient.

Removing aspirin from STEMI patients - Can we improve bleeding without compromising on results?

17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Watch this EuroPCR 2022 recording by Yoshinobu Onuma, Joanna Wykrzykowska, and Victor Alfonso Jimenez to understand why monotherapy following STEMI can be beneficial for patients, and why aspirin should be eliminated from post-PCI care, and to learn about the ASET SUPREME study.

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.
