Abstract
We report 3 cases that demonstrate the use of distal coronary hemoperfusion with prolonged balloon inflation to treat acute coronary occlusion occurring during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Despite acute occlusion, 2 of the patients had a good angioplasty result, and the 3rd underwent elective coronary bypass surgery. Thus, emergency coronary bypass was avoided in all 3 cases.Entities:
