Proximal RCA. STEMI managed by thrombectomy. [16 ] 50 M No. Unknown. Ostium of RCA. STEMI treated by thrombus aspiration. 85 M Yes. Unknown. Left main coronary artery (LCA). STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock, managed by dobutamine and an intra-aortic balloon pump and subsequently a thrombectomy and stent placement. Koutsampasopoulos et al. 69 F Yes. High sensitivity troponin T 5.33 ng/L ( Midsegment of LAD. STEMI managed with thrombectomy. [17 ] Nakano et al. 82 F Yes. Troponin I 0.65 ng/mL. Unclear. ECG showed atrial fibrillation, an inverted T wave in V1-V3, an abnormal Q wave in V1 -V4, and ST-segment elevation in V3 and V4. The patient was too unstable for an angiogram, thus was treated with intravenous heparin but died within 24 hours (diagnosis suspected by criteria proposed by Shibata et al.).
