Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe the case of a male patient, aged 62 years, with acute myocardial infarction, who underwent primary angioplasty using a new thrombus aspiration catheter in conjunction with the conventional technique. This catheter is easier to use than similar devices available to date and is extremely effective in the removal of large intracoronary thrombi, thus providing protection against distal embolism during angioplasty procedures. |
