A coronary stent system used during ST- Segment Elevation Myocardial infarction, or STEMI, is displayed at the catheterization laboratory, William Beaumont Army Medical Center, June 28. WBAMC currently holds the fastest door-to-balloon times in the Department of Defense and the City of El Paso, Texas, averaging 50 minutes over the last two years. Door-to-balloon time is the measurement of time necessary from the point of patient arrival to the point a catheter with a small balloon is deployed placing a coronary stent system in the artery and opening up the artery. National guidelines for door-to-balloon time are set at 90 minutes or less.
