Herein, we describe a single‐step approach to deploy Neuroform Atlas stent (Stryker Neurovascular, Fremont, CA) which is a hybrid laser‐cut, nitinol self‐expanding stent without the need for ELW or lesion re‐access using MINI TREK RX (Abbott Vascular, Inc., There was no restriction on time from last known well (TLKW) to MT.

(MedPage Today) -- For patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia, drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons did not improve amputation-free survival compared with balloon angioplasty alone in the BASIL.

Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis. 4 Recent literature has reported clinical benefits associated with rescue stenting in the setting of ICAD‐related MT‐refractory strokes.5

Written by Jesse McLaren A 70 year old with prior MIs and stents to LAD and RCA presented to the emergency department with 2 weeks of increasing exertional chest pain radiating to the left arm, associated with nausea. But no ECG met STEMI criteria so the patient was referred to cardiology as Non-STEMI.

A stent was placed. For those who depend on echocardiogram to confirm the ECG findings of ischemia, this should be sobering. In this case, the duration of ischemia was so brief that there was no such evolution, and there was near-normalization. Ischemia may be so brief that Wellens' waves do not evolve 3. Lessons: 1.

Post by Smith and Meyers Sam Ghali ( [link] ) just asked me (Smith): "Steve, do left main coronary artery *occlusions* (actual ones with transmural ischemia) have ST Depression or ST Elevation in aVR?" That said, complete LM occlusion would be expected to have subepicardial ischemia (STE) in these myocardial territories: STE vector 1.

Precordial ST depression may be subendocardial ischemia or posterior STEMI. I have warned in the past that one must think of other etiologies of ischemia when there is tachycardia. The OM-1 was opened and stented, then the LAD was stented 3 days later. There is no ST elevation. How can we tell the difference?
