چکیده

A 67-year-old man was admitted to our institution with sudden and persistent chest pain for 3 days. Coronary angiography showed massive thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery. The patient received intracoronary thrombolysis with alteplase (recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator, rt-PA). On repeated angiography, there was marked resolution of intracoronary thrombus. After percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation, the final result was complete revascularization of the right coronary artery (TIMI grade 3 distal flow). This case demonstrates that intracoronary rt-PA can result in local thrombus reduction in patients undergoing PCI, especially with a large thrombus burden.

Percutaneous coronary revascularization in patients with unstable angina and coronary thrombus carries a high complication rate. A new strategy to reduce thrombus burden before revascularization was tested in a multicenter prospective trial. Patients with unstable angina and coronary thrombus (n = 45) received alteplase through an infusion catheter at the proximal aspect of the target lesion an...

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure secondary to degeneration can cause significant problems after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Repeat revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention can be performed after SVG failure but is often associated with less favourable clinical outcome. Treatment for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of native vessels after SVG failure among patients with...

Applied Pathology for Interventions of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion

Percutaneous coronary intervention of chronically occluded vessels can result in significant improvement in symptoms, relieve myocardial ischemia, and affect a reduction in major adverse cardiac events. Likelihood of achieving successful revascularization can be significantly enhanced with a thorough understanding of the pathology of these occluded coronary arteries. In this chapter, various st...
