TCT-43 Direct Culprit Vessel Primary PCI to LAD Followed by Contra Lateral Angiography by Transradial Route in Acute Myocardial Infarction - Direct Study

In the present clinical study we tested the hypothesis that in anterior STEMI, direct PCI to left anterior descending (LAD) artery before right coronary artery angiography is feasible and this would shorten the door to balloon (d2b) time, even in the hands of operators who have shifted from femoral...
