Isolated posterior STEMI is uncommon 3-10% of STEMIs . As suggested usually LCX in dominant system <commonly Ramus as in this case/ or OM . PPCI proximal ramus 2.5x33mm stents .
-50% of cases are not recognised as st dep in v1-3 misread as NSTEMI .

@TrackYourHeart 1. Diffuse ST-Segment Elevation in multiple leads
2. PR-Segment Depression
3. PR Elevation and ST Depression in aVRV1.
4. Absence of Reciprocal ST Depression
5. ST/T Ratio in V6 > 0.25 discriminator from early repolarization: measured in lead V6 supports pericarditis.

Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia characterized by rapid, chaotic, and disorganized electrical activity within the ventricles.
The result is complete loss of coordinated ventricular contraction and cessation of effective cardiac output

I would say that the KISS trial @JACCJournals not only proved that you do not need to do routine SB intervention (commonly kissing), rather I would say the most significant change is proving the concept of POT-side-POT (done in 57% of SB interventions and seems to be more favorable than kissing).
I have been recently doing POT-side-POT instead of kissing when I need SBI and that study proved it can be better!
Congrats to the authors and @sbrugaletta for an insightful editorial!

Which is your favourite workhorse wire #CardioTwitter
And why is it Sion Blue ๐?
Remarkably versatile , handles majority of everyday lesions
Predictable tactile feedback and excellent trackability
Superb device delivery support
Forgiving , safe tip behavior ; no perf till date across 6k+ PCIs
Especially reliable in tortuous and moderately calcific anatomy
IMO, Japanese wires remain a class apart in terms of feel and engineering.
PS - No financial interest whatsoever for this post , just too much love for this beauty and felt it deserved a mention ๐ฅฐ
