As discussed in ECG Blog #108 — AIVR generally occurs in one of the following C linical S ettings : i ) As a rhythm during cardiac arrest; ii ) In the monitoring phase of acute MI ( especially with inferior MI ) ; or , iii ) As a reperfusion arrhythmia ( ie, following thrombolysis, acute angioplasty, or spontaneous reperfusion ).

New electrocardiographic criteria for posterior wall myocardial ischemia validated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty model of acute myocardial infarction. About half of patients receiving elective balloon angioplasty of the circumflex will show posterior STE ≥ 1mm. (8-12) Neth Heart J. 2007; 15: 16-21. Wung SF, Drew BJ.

In the setting of evolving infarction — development of AIVR often heralds the onset of reperfusion ( following thrombolysis, acute angioplasty, or spontaneous reperfusion ). In this setting — this rhythm is usually transient.

IntroductionThe risk of tandem occlusion treatment in the setting of intravenous thrombolysis is unclear. Patients who received thrombolysis and subsequently underwent endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke between 2012 and 2022 were included. Future prospective, multi‐center studies would be beneficial.

A combination of balloon angioplasty, stent implantation, and intra-arterial thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) was employed, resulting in significant thrombus reduction and improved coronary flow. Despite initial efforts, thrombus aspiration and further catheter advancement were unsuccessful.
