A 79-year-old man had an out-of-hospital acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction with cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by a bystander resulted in traumatic hemopericardium. We discuss the patient's case, highlight the challenges of managing simultaneously life-threatening thrombosis and hemorrhage, and present our conclusions regarding the patient's eventual death.

AbstractST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening condition that requires emergent, complex, well-coordinated treatment. Although the primary goal of treatment is simple to describe—reperfusion as quickly as possible—the management process is complicated and is affected by multiple factors including location, patient, and practitioner characteristics. Hence, this narrative review will discuss the recommended management and treatment strategies of STEMI in the circumstances.
