A case of acute myocardial infarction treated with a new thrombectomy system.
Thrombotic occlusion in the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction was successfully recanalized using a 4.5 Fr thrombectomy catheter (RESCUE), which was also used to normalize the coronary blood flow. The retrieved specimens were white thrombi containing red thrombi and cholesterol crystals, indicating plaque rupture.
