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…

Long-term follow-up of complete versus lesion-only revascularization in STEMI and multivessel disease

21 Jan 2020

The CvLPRIT trial demonstrated that at one-year MACE (all-cause death, recurrent MI, heart failure and ischaemia driven revascularisation) was significantly lower in the CR group compared to the IRA group with no differences in safety endpoints. In this paper, the authors report the extended follow-up to...
