Acute extensive anterior infarction or ischæmia
Comment:
The commonest cause of this scenario is coronary artery dissection during the procedure. The stent may have delayed its presentation somewhat. The patient was rushed to the theatres for urgent CABG to the dissected LAD artery and did well, although an anterior infarction was sutained (Figs 111b, 111c, 111d, 111e).
The subject has been reviewed recently81.
The tombstoning complexes are often saddle-shaped, like in pericarditis, but massive ST elevation precludes the latter diagnosis. The elevation in pericarditis practically never exceeds 5mm.
