SCAI Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Patients With STEMI Referred for Primary PCI-Clinical Conversation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presents a panel discussion on the "Sky Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Patients with STEMI Referred for Primary PCI" published by the Journal of the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. Dr. Jacqueline Tammes Holland and other experts discuss key aspects such as radial artery access, thrombus management, and the importance of timely reperfusion. They emphasize catheterization lab readiness and tailored approaches for complex scenarios, including cardiogenic shock and multivessel disease. The panelists discuss practical tools and techniques for managing STEMI, highlighting the importance of familiarity with a range of devices for successful interventions. They advocate for intravascular imaging in assessing arterial condition pre- and post-PCI. Future directions include artificial intelligence applications and decreasing infarct size through improved microvascular obstruction management. The discussion encourages the adoption of practical tips and effective protocols in both large centers and community settings to optimize patient care.
