Echocardiogram Outcomes Stents

An echocardiogram showed severely reduced global systolic function with an EF of 20-25% and an LV apical thrombus. All three lesions had TIMI 2 flow prior to stenting. This is an RAO cranial projection of the left coronary vessels after thrombectomy and stenting. An echocardiogram showed an EF of 20-25%.

A male in his 40's who had been discharged 6 hours prior after stenting of an inferoposterior STEMI had sudden severe SOB at home 2 hours prior to calling 911. So it would be wise to look at the pre-discharge ECG, which was available: There are Q-waves and ST elevation on this pre-discharge (post-stent) ECG. He had no chest pain.

Although he had a normal echocardiogram and stress test a year ago at a different hospital, due to his symptoms and intermediate-high risk probability of coronary artery disease (CAD), the decision was made to proceed with a cardiac catheterization using a trans-radial approach with a horizontal sweep technique.

Elevated troponins prompted an echocardiogram — which revealed an apical wall motion abnormality (WMA). This led to immediate cath lab activation — which revealed total occlusion of a large 1st diagonal branch that was stented. == Below is the ECG of Patient #3 — recorded from a 35-year old man with sudden, new-onset CP.

EKG initially negative but repeat shows a few T wave abnormalities… There is a chance this could be non-cardiac pain” At 1518, an echocardiogram showed normal LV size and systolic function with hypokinesis of the mid and distal anterior wall and the mid and distal septum. RAO Caudal view: This is the RAO Caudal view.

A stent was placed. For those who depend on echocardiogram to confirm the ECG findings of ischemia, this should be sobering. I have seen cases of Wellens' syndrome that were ignored because of either negative troponins or normal echo or both and the patient did not get an angiogram and had a bad outcome.

Submitted and written by Alex Bracey with edits by Pendell Meyers and Steve Smith Case A 50ish year old man with a history of CAD w/ prior LAD MI s/p LAD stenting presented to the ED with chest pain similar to his prior MI, but worse. The patient underwent successful placement of one drug eluting stent with restoration of TIMI 3 flow.
