文摘
A left main coronary artery thrombosis is a life-threatening condition demanding immediate therapeutic management. Traditional treatment options include thrombolysis, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting or cardiac bypass surgery. The number of reported cases in which aspiration thrombectomy has been used is limited. Indications for this therapeutic approach are determined by coronary anatomy, clinical stability, and hemodynamic condition of the patient. We present the case of an acute left main coronary artery thrombosis leading to progressive deterioration of left ventricle function that was successfully treated with aspiration thrombectomy.
