title: Thrombosuction with export aspiration catheter during PCI in acute MI.
abstract: The angiographic demonstration of thrombus laden LAD in a ventilated young man with IABP (to combat cardiogenic shock) demanded thrombosuction. Following thrombosuction no significant lesion was visible that could have mandated PTCA-Stenting. Follow-up coronary angiography in this hyperhomocysteinaemic young subject after one and a half month revealed normal coronaries. Thrombosuction alone unaccompanied by any other additional intervention is infrequently reported.
