  1. * Four patients of group A could not be classified due to complete occlusion of the target vessel in patients with STEMI during non-elective PCI. After restoration of blood flow (thrombectomy or PCI using a undersized balloon) a significant bifurcation lesion was identified.
  2. * Three patients of group B could not be classified due to complete occlusion of the target vessel in patients with STEMI during non-elective PCI. After restoration of blood flow (thrombectomy or PCI using a undersized balloon) a significant bifurcation lesion was identified.
