Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is a common presentation but can occur in many complex clinical situations. In this case, a patient presents with severe chest and back pain, unequal pulses in the arms, diminished lower extremity pulses, and an ECG showing acute STEMI presumably involving the right coronary artery. There is a history of cocaine use. The challenges of managing such a patient are discussed and reviewed in this case.
