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.

The patient continued to have ischemia after PCI, and in fact had an episode of polymorphic VT shortly after while in the ICU. The ECG, as it turns out, is the best predictor , better the TMP grade because TMP measures microvascular patency, and the ECG measures cellular viability ( see this full text article and this abstract ).
