Abstract

This overweight woman's case, who underwent a primary coronary intervention for STEMI, reminds us how much the trans-radial angioplasty is interesting in this particular case leaning on the recent literature, randomized trials and registries, in terms of major adverse events reduction including mortality. We are going to debate about hesitation of using radial approach whose only everyday's practising could make this approach a STEMI one.

Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome with persistent ST elevation; Radial; Radiale; Syndrome coronarien aigu avec sus-décalage persistant du segment ST.
