Aspiration thrombectomy for acute myocardial infarction resulting from the sequential occlusions of two major coronary arteries in a short time.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to chest oppressive sensation. Coronary angiography showed total occlusion in the proximal right coronary artery even after intracoronary nitroglycerin, but no stenosis in the left coronary artery. He was treated with aspiration thrombectomy and stent deployment. After 23 hours, he suddenly had severe chest pain, and ECG showed marked ST elevation in leads I, aVL and V2-6. Surprisingly, coronary angiography showed total occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending artery even after intracoronary nitroglycerin where there had been no stenosis on first angiogram just 23 hours earlier. He was treated with aspiration thrombectomy.

BACKGROUND Large thrombus burdens in ectatic coronary arteries that remain after aspiration thrombectomy can negatively impact outcomes following percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with acute myocardial infarction. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old man presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography revealed an ectatic right coronary artery (...

According to the latest guidelines, the best intervention to restore blood flow through occluded coronary arteries is angioplasty at a time less than 90 minutes. Delay in timely implementation of reperfusion is one of the key issues in the management of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this review study, papers published from 1999-2019 were used to investigate Role of Pre-hospital...
متن کاملCoronary artery ectasia presenting with thrombus embolization and acute myocardial infarction
RATIONALE Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by an abnormal dilatation of the coronary arteries. CAE is often associated with the presence of slow coronary flow and may lead to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), even without total occlusion. PATIENT CONCERNS AND DIAGNOSIS We report a case of a 24-year-old male patient with CAE suffering from AMI. INTERVENTIONS Percutaneous coron...
متن کامل"Lone aspiration thrombectomy" without stenting in young patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.
UNLABELLED Plaque rupture with thrombotic occlusion without severe underlying coronary atherosclerosis is frequently observed during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). These lesions are stented even if post thrombectomy mild underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) is noted. The value of mechanical thrombus aspiration alone ...

Acute occlusive embolism to the coronary arteries resulting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an uncommon occurrence. Although cases of patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valves resulting in this phenomenon have been reported in the setting of inadequate anticoagulation, reported cases resulting years after tissue aortic valve replacement (AVR) are rare. We report the case of a 50-...
