Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prominent S wave in the left-sided leads and a prominent R wave in the right-sided chest leads, suggesting dextrocardia. After guidewire crossing, balloon angioplasty was performed, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed. His vital signs were normal, and the physical examination was unremarkable.

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.

The OM-1 was opened and stented, then the LAD was stented 3 days later. New electrocardiographic criteria for posterior wall acute myocardial ischemia validated by a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty model of acute myocardial infarction. So there was 3-vessel disease, but with an acute posterior STEMI.
