Acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty using only a Pronto aspiration catheter.

ABSTRACT

In a patient with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty, a large amount of thrombus was removed from the middle segment of the right coronary artery using a Pronto V3 extraction catheter (Vascular Solutions, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota). Repeat angiography revealed no significant residual stenosis and no further intervention was undertaken.
