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…

How should I treat an inflated trapped intra-coronary balloon?

04 Apr 2018

A 73-year-old male presented with acute chest pain and ST segment elevation in the inferior leads. Angiography revealed an occlusion of the mid right coronary artery. A drug-eluting stent was deployed and post-dilated throughout with a non-compliant balloon. However, the deflated balloon could not be retracted...
