STEMI; Radiation, Cut-n-Crack, and Drug-coated Balloons

In primary PCI, small enhancements can mean a lot for a patient's life. This quick STEMI case highlights three points:

  1. How to clear an ambiguous stump, the importance of frames.
  2. Proper lesion preparation: combining cutting balloons and high-pressure balloons (cut and crack).
  3. Can we use drug-coated balloons in STEMI?

I acknowledge Dr. Florim Cuculi for the term (cut and crack)

Very well demonstrated and explained…the technical aspects are fascinating for the non-Cardiologists among us

Good job as usual. The conflict is that, sometime, the lesion preparation in STEMI especially if extended causes troublesome noreflow and disturbs the safety and peace of mind. Otherwise, its marvelous.
