Abstract/OtherAbstract:
ST elevation is usually treated in cardiac catheterization laboratory with an aim for myocardial salvage by restoration of adequate coronary blood flow enhancing both early and long-term survival. Maximum benefit is achieved if therapy is initiated in the first hour after treatment onset, thus ushering the concept of door-to-balloon time. We present an interesting case of a patient whose ST elevation resolved after bronchoscopy for a lung whiteout.
