Overview
Despite advances in reperfusion with primary stenting, progress in STEMI outcomes has stalled over the past 20 years. A new FDA approved therapy, TherOx® SSO2 Therapy, has been shown to reduce infarct size by 26% when treated within 6 hours of symptom onset in anterior STEMI patients post-PCI (1).
Pre-clinical studies have also shown that SSO2 addresses microvascular obstruction, which is strongly associated with mortality and hospitalization for HF within 1 year (2, 3).
Learn about this promising new therapy for STEMI patients and hear from global thought leaders about their experiences with it.
