Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a mode of treatment in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Army Cardiac Center Lahore, from Nov 2019 to Feb 2020. Methodology: All patients diagnosed as acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction during the study period were offered primary percutaneous coronary intervention among treatment options. Patients who chose primary percutaneous coronary intervention were included in the study. Informed consent was taken. Patient demographics, risk factors, time variables, procedural characteristics and in-hospital adverse events were evaluated. Results: On admission, Out of 50, 30 (60%) of the patients were current smokers, 25 (50%) were hypertensive, 22 (44%) were diabetic, and 1 (2%) had cardiogenic shock. The mean time from symptom onset to hospital arrival was 5 hours and the mean door-to-balloon time was 34 minutes. Culprit coronary artery was the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in 56% cases and multi-vessel disease was present in 38% cases. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention involved balloon dilatation (2%) and stent implantation (98%). The incidence of postprocedural angiographic no-reflow was 0%. All-cause mortality was 1%. Conclusion: This study has shown efficiency, feasibility and safety in performing of primary percutaneous coronary intervention with excellent outcomes in Army Cardiac Center Lahore. In order to further improve its outcomes, our goal should be to decrease reperfusion time which can be achieved by reducing patient delay, increasing public awareness and improving the management of first medical contact.

Coronary reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) or fibrinolytic therapy improves outcomes in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or an MI with a new or presumably new left bundle branch block or a true posterior MI. If performed in a timely fashion, PPCI is the reperfusion therapy of choice compared to fibrinolysis because it achieves a higher rate of TIMI 3 flow. Here we describe a case of acute ST elevated inferior myocardial infarction managed with primary percutaneous coronary intervention as a launching case in the University Cardiac Center ofBangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University.

Introduction. Several arteries can be used as the approach for coronarography or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). In patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), when performing pPCI according to the current recommendations, approach artery should be the radial artery. Complications of the transradial approach, such as spasm, asymptomatic occlusion, perforation, nerve damage, arteriovenous fistula, compartment syndrome, and radial artery pseudoaneurysm are described. However, only a few cases describe rare complications of transradial approach such as the perforation of the axillary artery. Case outline. The patient was admitted due to the STEMI. Urgent coronarography found 90% stenosis of the proximal segment of the left anterior descendent branch of the left coronary artery (LAD). During the pPCI, a metal stent was implanted in the proximal segment of the LAD. One hour after the intervention, a hematoma in the right arm was registered with the hemodynamic collapse. Angiography of the left axillary artery showed an extravasation of the contrast. A graft stent was implanted in the area of extravasation. After the intervention, regression of the hematoma was registered. Ten years after the primary intervention, CT coronarography and angiography were performed. The stent in the LAD, as well as in the axillary artery, was without any stenosis. Conclusion. Advanced life expectancy, hypertension, atherosclerosis, anatomical variations, and blood vessel tortuosity contribute to the perforation of the axillary artery, a very rare complication of the radial approach. It is usually treated conservatively. In the case of hemodynamic instability, a stent implantation can be considered, as it was in our case.
