Abstract:
A 70-year-old woman with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus was transferred to our hospital due to inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. An emergent coronary angiogram revealed occlusion of the distal right coronary artery. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention was performed, preceded by lesion assessment using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
