SCAI Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Patients with STEMI Referred for Primary PCI
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Timely reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with improved outcomes.
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) puts forth an expert consensus document regarding best practices for cardiac catheterization laboratory team readiness, arterial access with an algorithm to help determine proper arterial access in STEMI, and diagnostic angiography.
This consensus statement highlights the strengths and limitations of various diagnostic and therapeutic interventions to access and treat a patient with STEMI in the cath lab, reviews different options to manage large thrombus burden during STEMI and reviews the management of STEMI across the spectrum of various anatomical and clinical circumstances.

Submit a Case or Cardio Quiz
From Clinical Practice
In clinical practice, decisions are not always clear-cut. Sharing your case as a recording or cardio quiz helps other practitioners develop their critical thinking skills and keep up-to-date.
Find out more about the processes to follow to ensure that your case or quiz submission is successful.
Ischemic Heart Disease Council
From Leadership
Representing the interests of fellow members and patients, SCAI's councils are responsible for developing the strategy that drives the Society's programs.
