Abstract
|
|
|
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA) has been widely applied in patients with coronary artery disease since 1977. Although coronary angioplasty has been shown to be safe and effective treatment strategy, acute closure & restenosis
remain
as major limitations of PTCA.
Acute occlusion due to intracoronary thrombus acumulation during or immediately after coronary angioplasty is serious complication of PTCA, also. Intracoronary urokinase has been used to treat acute occlusion by intracoronary thrombus that
complicated
in PTCA and proved to be effective in restoring vessel patency and preventing acute myocardial infarction.
We report a case in which embolism of left anterior descending artery was complicated during angioplasty of left circumflex artery and managed with intracoronary infusion of urokinase.
