The left main coronary artery (LMCA) ST-elevation myocardial infarction has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Older age and cardiogenic shock are independent predictors for in-hospital mortality. Here, we report a case of an 89-year-old Javanese man with a history of smoking presented with total LMCA occlusion complicated by cardiogenic shock in an octogenarian that was saved by stenting in thrombolysis in myocardial Infarction Flow III right coronary artery.

This article reviews optimum therapies for the management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Optimum anti-thrombotic therapy includes aspirin, bivalirudin and the new anti-platelet agents prasugrel or ticagrelor. Stent thrombosis (ST) has been a major concern but can be reduced by achieving optimal stent deployment, use of prasugrel or ticagrelor, selective use of drug-eluting stents (DES) and use of new generation DES. Large thrombus burden is often associated poor outcomes. Patients with moderate to large thrombus should be managed with aspiration thrombectomy and patients with giant thrombus should be treated with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and may require rheolytic thrombectomy. The great majority of STEMI patients presenting at non-PCI hospitals can best be managed with transfer for primary PCI even with substantial delays. A small group of patients who present very early, who are at high clinical risk and have long delays to PCI, may best be treated with a pharmaco-invasive strategy.

BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular obstruction /no-reflow(CMVO/NR) is a predictor of long-term mortality in survivors of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors of CMVO/NR. METHODS Totally 2384 STEMI patients treated with PPCI were divided into two groups according to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow grade:CMVO/NR group(246cases,TIMI 0-2 grade) and control group(2138 cases,TIMI 3 grade). We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression to identify risk factors of CMVO/NR. RESULTS A frequency of CMVO/NR was 10.3%(246/2384). Logistic regression analysis showed that the differences between the two groups in age(unadjusted odds ratios [OR] 1.032; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.045; adjusted OR 1.032; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.046 ; P <0.001), periprocedural bradycardia (unadjusted OR 2.357 ; 95% CI, 1.752 to 3.171; adjusted OR1.818; 95% CI, 1.338 to 2.471 ; P <0.001),using thrombus aspirationdevices during operation (unadjusted OR 2.489 ; 95% CI, 1.815 to 3.414; adjusted OR1.835; 95% CI, 1.291 to 2.606 ; P =0.001),neutrophil percentage (unadjusted OR 1.028 ; 95% CI, 1.014 to 1.042; adjusted OR1.022; 95% CI, 1.008 to 1.036 ; P =0.002) , and completely block of culprit vessel (unadjusted OR 2.626; 95% CI, 1.85 to 3.728; adjusted-OR 1.656;95% CI, 1.119 to 2.45; P =0.012) were statistically significant ( P <0. 05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.6896 . CONCLUSIONS Age , periprocedural bradycardia, using thrombus aspirationdevices during operation, neutrophil percentage ,and completely block of culprit vessel may be independent risk factors for predicting CMVO/NR.
