Cross-sectional analysis of stenosis prevalence in culprit coronary arteries among STEMI patients treated with primary PCI suggests critical intervention timing.
Key Points
Severe stenosis (>70%) was identified in 60.2% of STEMI patients, indicating a common and critical issue.
Quantitative coronary analysis measured various angiographic parameters, highlighting the severity of stenosis.
Culprit arteries showed significant correlation between severe stenosis and low TIMI flow grades.
Results underscore the need for early recognition and intervention in STEMI cases with severe stenosis.
