Abstract
A 41-year-old man was referred to the Montreal Heart Institute, Montreal, Quebec, for primary angioplasty of an acute anterolateral wall myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed the culprit lesion to be a subtotal left main coronary artery with Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) trial grade 1 flow associated with a filling defect compatible with an aggressive thrombotic process. The use of rheolytic thrombectomy and a drug-eluting stent for this distal left main target lesion are described.Entities:
