Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)

A 66-year-old man with many cardiovascular risk factors, but without previous cardiovascular disease was admitted to emergency department for chest pain. The clinical and instrumental picture seems to be a NSTEMi-ACS and so the patient was assessed with mortality and bleeding risk scores. The patient was sent to cath lab within 24 hours according to his combined risk with documentation of triple-vessel disease, unfortunatly unsuitable for percutaneous revascularization. Hence, dust antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was withdrawn and the patient sent to (coronary artery bypass graft) CABG five days after DAPT discontinuation.The post-surgery rehabilitation completed our therapeutic approach.
