Easy to say in hindsight, of course, but putting a micro-axial flow pump 30 minutes before PCI in STEMIs without shock always struck me as more risky than beneficial—mostly for the delay it adds. And it quintuples BARC 3 bleeding. For the umpteenth time in a STEMI trial: nothing beats reopening the vessel, quickly. #ACC26
