A 44-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with central crushing chest pain and dynamic anterior ST elevation on a background of a known left bundle-branch block on her electrocardiogram. Past medical history included insulin-dependent diabetes, asthma, fibromyalgia, and a gradually failing kidney transplant. This case demonstrates the rarely utilized niche role for intracoronary thrombolysis in STEMI treatment in the modern angioplasty era.
