That is the Question. PG - 293-296 LID - 10.4103/HEARTVIEWS.HEARTVIEWS_28_21 [doi] AB - Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) in the context of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a challenging situation with no clear guidelines. In the absence of a consensus, optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides a better well-informed decision whether to stent or not. Herein, we report a case of MINOCA that underwent stenting of the proximal left anterior descending artery in the setting of extensive anterior wall STEMI in view of high-risk clinical presentation and OCT features of a ruptured plaque.
