Coronary intervention in STEMI without stent implantation

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |
2018

Abstract

On the basis of two case reports, the authors discuss the possibility of percutaneous intervention in patients with acute myocardialinfarction without the use of a stent. The technique described involves restoring arterial patency by using thromboaspiration and,once a favourable finding has been confirmed by means of optical coherence tomography, the lesion is left to heal spontaneously.
