2017 Ischemia Stent

The logic of stenting obstructed coronary arteries is simple. A stent unblocks the artery. Subscribe now Stenting stable coronary artery disease has not been convincingly proven to reduce the risk of future heart attacks or death 1. But coronary stenting is not the only way to reduce symptoms of angina. All is fixed.

This was interpreted by the treating clinicians as not showing any evidence of ischemia. Given the presentation, the cardiologist stented the vessel and the patient returned to the ICU for ongoing critical care. He was intubated in the field and sedated upon arrival at the hospital. Two subsequent troponins were down trending.

There is broad subendocardial ischemia as demonstrated by STE aVR with concomitant STD that almost appears appropriately maximal in Leads II and V5. There is LBBB-like morphology with persistent patterns of subendocardial ischemia. A mid-LAD culprit lesion was identified and stented. & Desai, M. Josephson, M.

He was rushed to the Cath Lab where an LAD culprit lesion was stented. Here is the LAD after stent placement. It’s important to stress the presence of a normal QRS (i.e., This first image shows turbulent flow through stenotic narrowing of the vessel. Annals of Emergency Medicine, 60 (1), 45-56. 2] Driver, B.

J Electrocardiology 50(5):561-569; September/October 2017. After many hours, the decided that it was appropriate to do an angiogram and they found a distal LAD occlusion which was opened and stented. This makes it almost certain that the ST elevation on the first one is due to ischemia. It was stented. the more accurate.

Delayed angiogram found a 95% mid RCA occlusion that was stented. Ischemic ST-segment depression maximal in V1-V4 (versus V5-V6) of any amplitude is specific for Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (versus nonocclusive ischemia).
