reports MI in 2001 with a stent placed in the "marginal" artery. First, this patient had a known stent in the "marginal" artery and thought he was having a heart attack. However, ST elevation is only an imperfect surrogate for complete acute persistent occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery without collateral circulation.

It was opened and stented with a door to balloon time of about 120 minutes (this is long for STEMI, but very short for a high risk Non STEMI). The 4th, after the opening of the artery and release of troponin from the cardiac circulation, was 99.9 ng/mL So this was a very large MI!! This includes: 1.

It was a 60yo with a history of stents to the circumflex and right coronary arteries, who presented with 9 hours of fluctuating central chest pain. So even without the diagnostic ECGs, they had clinical evidence of refractory ischemia with biomarker (troponin) confirmation. The patient was still in pain, with a third troponin of 500.
