In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with diffuse ectatic coronary artery, extensive thrombi inhibit achievement of final successful revascularization of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. However, clinical and angiographic outcomes of such patients are uncertain. The present study examined clinical and angiographic outcomes in STEMI incorporating giant coronary artery with diffuse ectasia.
