Homemade stent shields: fortifying against coronary perforation in STEMI patients amidst intensive glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors—a case report

Our case is a pioneering instance of using a homemade stent with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and heparin in a STEMI patient with CAP. This novel approach was successful, demonstrating its feasibility and safety. Our experience suggests that improvised stenting techniques could be a viable option in complex coronary interventions, especially when commercial alternatives are unavailable. Further validation may broaden treatment options and improve outcomes in interventional cardiology.
