Successful treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction caused by septic embolus with the use of a thrombectomy catheter in infective endocarditis.

John Whitaker1, Mrinal Saha, Rahul Fulmali, Divaka Perera.   

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.
