TI  - Primary percutaneous coronary aspiration of thrombus from infarct related artery.
PG  - 791-3
AB  - We are reporting the case of a 48-year-old man hypertensive, and smoker 
      presenting with acute inferoposterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 
      with right ventricular infarction. He underwent diagnostic angiogram which 
      revealed total occlusion of mid right coronary artery (RCA) by thrombus. Multiple 
      runs of aspiration were performed using Export Aspiration Catheter-6F and 
      thrombus was aspirated from RCA. Postaspiration stenting was deferred due to 
      absence of any significant obstructive lesion. Some thrombus had migrated to 
      distal right posteriolateral branch (RPLB). He was started on glycoprotein (GP) 
      IIb IIIa inhibitors which had to stopped after a few hours due to upper 
      gastrointestinal bleed. After 48 hours a re-look angiogram demonstrated good flow 
      in RCA with resolution of the residual thrombus.
