Concurrent inferior stemi with third-degree AV block and acute intracranial haemorrhage: how we overcame this clinical challenge-a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The concurrent management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) poses a significant clinical challenge due to conflicting treatment goals. While the management of STEMI requires coronary reperfusion with antithrombotic agents (anticoagulants and antiplatelets), such treatments are contraindicated in cases of ICH. The coexistence of STEMI and ICH is exceedingly rare in the literature and is associated with high mortality rates. Furthermore, no specific guidelines currently exist for managing such cases. Case summary: We report a case of a 67-year-old male presenting with acute ICH who subsequently developed inferior STEMI complicated by third-degree atrioventricular block. The patient underwent a deferred percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy, involving only balloon angioplasty and thrombectomy without stent placement, to restore coronary flow while minimizing the risk of exacerbating the intracranial haemorrhage. Three days later, ischaemia progressed to recurrent myocardial infarction, at which point reassessment revealed stabilization of the ICH, allowing for stent placement in the right coronary artery (RCA) and the administration of antithrombotic therapy. Discussion: The deferred PCI strategy, involving initial thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty without stent placement, facilitated temporary restoration of coronary flow and provided a critical time window for the stabilization of the ICH. This approach enabled subsequent stent implantation and the reintroduction of antithrombotic therapy (anticoagulants and antiplatelets). This strategy demonstrates its effectiveness in managing patients with concurrent STEMI and ICH by balancing the risks of ischaemia and haemorrhage, thereby improving clinical outcomes.
