Bifurcation stenting in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: an analysis from dkcrush II randomized study.

Objective: We sought to study the clinical outcomes of bifurcation stenting in patients who presented with stent thrombosis segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Background: Patients with STEMI are usually excluded from randomized bifurcation studies. There is limited information for bifurcation stenting in this population.

Rapid thrombectomy for treatment of macroembolization during percutaneous coronary intervention in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.

We report the use of the Export catheter as an urgent modality to aspirate thrombus that embolized down the left anterior descending artery during acute myocardial infarction.
