Intravenous thrombolysis was administered in 39.6%. Previous studies in LVO and MeVO have demonstrated a correlation between good clinical outcomes and the first pass effect (FPE, eTICI 2c/3 on the first pass) but no differences in FPE rates or clinical outcomes between first‐line endovascular therapy techniques.1‐6

He eventually underwent CAG, where a circumflex occlusion was stented. Here is an old (2015), but still very relevant, lecture on T-wave inversion by Dr. Smith: 40 minute lecture on T-wave inversion Learning points : T-waves are often dynamic in ACS and may hint at reperfusion and re-occlusion before the ST-segment does.
