ST elevation myocardial infarction and kidney transplant: A large cohort study: STEMI and renal transplant

•ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) among kidney transplant recipients is associated with high mortality rates.•Higher rates of post myocardial infarction mechanical complication rates were observed among kidney transplant recipients.•Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was associated with improved mortality rates among kidney transplant recipients who had STEMI.•Yearly incidence trend of STEMI among kidney transplant recipients decreased over the years 2012-2018.•In-hospital mortality rates of kidney transplant patients increased over the years 2012-2018 while mortality among STEMI patients was steady.•Yearly PCI rates trend improved over the study years 2012-2018.
