Cite This Study
Tzolos et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Myocardial infarction (n=1). Emergency invasive coronary angiogram and stent implantation was evaluated. Emergency invasive coronary angiography and stent implantation successfully restored normal coronary flow in a 66-year-old man presenting with cardiac arrest and inferolateral STEMI.
