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…

STEMI - What if a culprit lesion is not identifiable?

20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Address challenging STEMI cases where culprit lesions are not immediately identifiable. This session emphasizes the utility of intravascular imaging in guiding decision-making and optimizing percutaneous interventions through illustrative cases involving left main stenosis, ambiguous culprit lesions, and etiological dilemmas in coronary occlusion.
