Key result
Rescue angioplasty successfully achieved resolution of acute symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities in a patient with STEMI due to anomalous right coronary artery occlusion.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates that isolated right ventricular infarction from proximal right coronary occlusion can present with precordial ST elevation mimicking anterior STEMI, which can be successfully treated with rescue angioplasty.
Acute coronary syndrome with precordial ST segment elevation is usually related to left anterior descending artery occlusion, although isolated right ventricular infarction has been described as a cause of ST elevation in V1-V3 leads. We present a case of a patient with previous inferior wall infarction and new acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to proximal right coronary thrombotic occlusion resulting in right ventricular infarction with precordial ST elevation and sinus node dysfunction. The patient was treated with successful rescue angioplasty achieving resolution of acute symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities.

Matte et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Acute Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (n=1). Rescue angioplasty was evaluated on Resolution of acute symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities. Rescue angioplasty successfully achieved resolution of acute symptoms and electrocardiographic abnormalities in a patient with STEMI due to anomalous right coronary artery occlusion.
