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…

MOCA I study: microvascular obstruction measured using dMVR

23 Jul 2020

STEMI patients treated with primary PCI have a high risk of cardiovascular events. However, the diagnosis of Microvascular obstruction (MVO) in cathlabs immediately after PCI remains difficult due to the lack of validated algorithm.

Randomised comparison of the polymer-free biolimus-coated BioFreedom stent with the ultrathin strut biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting Orsiro stent in an all-comers population treated with PCI: the SORT OUT IX Trial

03 Jul 2020

While investigations testing differences in efficacy and safety between drug-eluting stents according to the characteristics of the coating – durable, bioresorbable, or polymer-free – have shown mixed results, several studies have highlighted the benefit of implanting a device with thinner strut.

Effect of ticagrelor monotherapy vs ticagrelor with aspirin on major bleeding and cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome : the TICO randomised clinical trial

02 Jul 2020

The outstanding results of the TICO trial have to be interpreted in light of a number of considerations and the generalisability of its results in other contexts requires further analysis.
