Abstract
A 71-year-old patient suffered a transmural (ST elevation) myocardial infarction (MI) as a result of a septic embolus from an infected tissue aortic valve replacement. Following failed fibrinolysis, his MI was successfully treated with thrombectomy using an export catheter. He suffered bleeding complications following the administration of tenectaplase and required aortic valve and root replacement due to ongoing systemic embolisation.Entities:
