ABSTRACT
We describe the case of a 47-year-old man presenting with inferior acute myocardial infarction complicated by complete atrioventricular block and cardiogenic shock, who underwent primary angioplasty and rheolytic thrombectomy with AngioJet and subsequent evaluation by optical coherence tomography. Optical coherence tomography is a rather novel technique in the management of coronary disease, and as far as we know, this is the first report about optical coherence tomography imaging after AngioJet thrombectomy. Moreover, we provide a brief discussion on advantages and disadvantages of this imaging modality on the basis of current practice.
