Stent implantation in patient with visible intracoronary thrombus and compromised left ventricular function, after local thrombolysis using the Dispatch catheter

Int J Cardiol. 1998 Jan 5;63(1):75-80. doi: 10.1016/s0167-5273(97)00258-1.

Abstract

The case of a patient with unstable angina and angiographic findings of significant (approximately 90%) right coronary artery stenosis with an intracoronary thrombus next to the lesion, total left anterior descending and circumflex occlusion and an ejection fraction of approximately 22% is described. The case was treated with stent implantation after local thrombolysis with the use of the Dispatch infusion catheter.
