An open 90% LAD was stented. A 51 year old male with h/o stent presented with 30 minutes of chest pain: Obvious anterolateral very acute STEMI with hyperacute T-waves He went for immediate PCI, with successful reperfusion of a 100% occluded proximal LAD, and a door to balloon time of 35 minutes. The LAD has reperfused early.

This article delves into heart attack symptoms, golden hour, treatment & prevention. Once the patient reaches the hospital, the doctors will attempt to remove the clot using either a potent clot buster medicine [thrombolytic medicines] or a surgery known as primary angioplasty. This is known as a pharmaco-invasive approach.
