Abstract
84 The incidence of acute total left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion cannot be determined exactly because most of patients die before hospital arrival.1 This patient group is rarely encountered but mortality is very high due to being complicated by cardiogenic shock and lethal arrhythmia quickly.2 We report a case of a 40-year-old woman who was presented with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction and managed successfully with percutaneous intervention with TAP (T-stenting And small Protrusion) technique stenting. Acute Total LMCA Occlusion and Successful TAP Stenting: Which Strategy Should We Follow in STEMI?
