This case highlights the rare occurrence of premature coronary artery disease presenting as STEMI in a teenager, which was successfully managed with emergent stenting.
An 18-year-old teenager with significant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors developed acute chest pain. His electrocardiogram showed inferior ST-segment elevations. Emergent coronary angiogram revealed complete thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery. He underwent stenting of the culprit lesion with complete clinical recovery and resolution of his electrocardiographic abnormalities secondary to myocardial infarction.

Modi et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Premature Coronary Artery Disease presenting as STEMI (n=1). Stenting of the culprit lesion was evaluated on Clinical recovery and resolution of electrocardiographic abnormalities. Stenting of the completely occluded right coronary artery in an 18-year-old with STEMI resulted in complete clinical recovery and resolution of electrocardiographic abnormalities.
