Abstract

Patients with multivessel coronary artery disease are common among patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The way to treat the rest of the lesions after treating the culprit lesion is not well defined yet. In this article we present a patient with inferior STEMI, who had also an ostial left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis.
