Disclosures Consulting: Research Grants: Terumo Interventional Systems Boston Scientific Medtronic Acist Medical Research Grants: Edwards LifeSciences Abbott
Case Presentation 67 year old male No significant PMH Called EMS with chest pain of 1 hour duration Cardiac arrest essentially as EMS arrived ACLS per protocol Initial rhythm VF Shocked with ROSC Intubated in field ECG with inferior ST-elevation Field activated STEMI Taken straight to Cath Lab on arrival Hemodynamically stable, Killip Class 2 Modified Allen’s Normal – yes, we still check
STEMI - Prep
6F Access – IL 3.5 Guide System connected from beginning 0.035” J-wire left in guide catheter Pulled back a few inches for left coronary system I still prefer contralateral first approach
6F Access – IL 3.5 Guide Advance J-wire almost to guide tip for RCA Will leave in place until 0.014” wire down Convert passive support to active support
Standard STEMI Management
STEMI – Primary PCI
Inferior STEMI (field activated) Times: Symptoms to EMS – 60 minutes EMS to Door – 32 minutes Door to Cath Lab – 5 minutes Cath lab to Access time – 9 minutes Access to Device time – 12 minutes Metrics: Door to Device time – 24 minutes EMS to Device time – 56 minutes
Post Cath Course Taken to CVICU upon case completion Targeted Temperature Management Post STEMI care No residual defects Discharged on hospital day # 5. Seen in clinic for follow-up …
Why this case . . . Was this really my “best case”??? No. Transradial STEMI is routine in our lab. The RCA was straightforward. It’s a good result, but nothing special Was this my best ”learning experience” In full disclosure: I’ve been totally schooled over the past year. I tend to remember and learn from negatives.
We can Learn from Positives as well This is access, not religion. Bleeding reduction is a good thing. Coaxial guide engagement is what matters. We are here to treat patients. Excepts from past conferences.

Conclusions We can learn from all experiences Positive and negative The work that we do really does translate back to the patient
