Summary

This study tests two methods used during emergency heart attack treatment: ischemic postconditioning (briefly pausing blood flow after opening the artery) and ultrasound-guided stent placement. The goal is to see if these approaches reduce death, heart failure, or the need for repeat procedures. The study will enroll 2500 adults having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) within 12 hours of symptom onset.
