Feasibility of using the Export catheter monorailed over the Filterwire for native coronary intervention in the presence of thrombus.
We describe a case of native coronary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in which a probable thrombus following ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was managed using a combined Export catheter (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and Filterwire (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) approach. The two devices were compatible, with the Export catheter passing over the Filterwire wire, resulting in an excellent clinical outcome. This novel combination approach is feasible for cases with thrombotic burden.
